Chaldean interpreting and certified translation in Laval and across Canada, mainly for refugee hearings, IRCC files and medical visits within the Iraqi Christian community.
Chaldean Translation Services in Laval
Certified Chaldean translation in Laval for IRCC and refugee files, working from Syriac-script church certificates and from the Arabic-language civil records that Iraq issues, with incomplete post-displacement documents rendered exactly as they appear.
Laval is Quebec's second most populous city, with roughly 438,000 residents on Ile Jesus just north of Montreal. While French is the predominant language, spoken by well over half the population, Laval is notably multilingual, with sizeable communities reporting Arabic, Greek, Italian, Armenian and other mother tongues. A large share of residents are immigrants of prime working age, which sustains ongoing demand for translation and interpreting tied to settlement, employment, healthcare and family matters.
The Charter of the French Language and Bill 96, overseen by the Office quebecois de la langue francaise, call for official and commercial documents to be available in French, so certified French translation is often required for diplomas, civil records and business paperwork. Newcomers filing applications with IRCC, families using local health and social services, and parties before the Superior Court of Quebec and the Court of Quebec in the judicial district serving Laval frequently need reliable translated documents and qualified interpreters.
Chaldean to English Translation Services in Laval
Certified Chaldean to English translation of baptismal and marriage certificates and Iraqi civil status records, issued by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit where a Canadian body requests one.
Chaldean, also called Chaldean Neo-Aramaic or Sureth, is a modern Aramaic language written in the Syriac script, read right to left. In practice most civil paperwork from Iraq is issued in Arabic rather than in Syriac, so a certified translation usually works from Arabic-language birth, marriage and nationality records, while any Syriac church or baptismal certificate is translated from the script itself.
Documents commonly on a file include Iraqi civil status and nationality records, baptismal and marriage certificates from a Chaldean or Assyrian church, refugee and UNHCR papers, and identity documents that may be incomplete after displacement. Each translation can be issued by a certified translator or accompanied by a sworn affidavit where a Canadian body asks for one, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Chaldean translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet IRCC requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Laval gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Chaldean Interpreters in Laval
Chaldean interpreters in Laval for hearings, interviews and medical visits, with the speaker's home region confirmed so vocabulary from the Nineveh Plain, Baghdad or the diaspora is matched correctly.
Because much of the community's need is oral, Chaldean work is often interpreting-led rather than document-led. Sureth has regional varieties, and speakers from the Nineveh Plain villages, Baghdad or the diaspora may use different vocabulary, so we ask where the speaker is from and match the interpreter, and we keep Chaldean and the related but distinct Assyrian variety clearly apart.
Interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, Canadian court matters, and hospital or clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, as well as church and settlement meetings. Sessions run in person in Laval and by phone or video for appointments anywhere in Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Laval we assign a Chaldean interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, lawyers, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.
About the Chaldean Language
Chaldean is the name commonly given by the Chaldean Catholic Christian community of Iraq to their Neo-Aramaic language, often called Suret or Chaldean Neo-Aramaic. It's spoken by perhaps 200,000 people. In Canada the Chaldean community is centred in the Windsor and Toronto areas, where Chaldean Catholic parishes anchor a diaspora that has grown through successive waves of Iraqi displacement. Our Chaldean translation work is concentrated around IRB refugee and IRCC sponsorship paperwork, Iraqi civil documents (often in Arabic rather than Chaldean), and church records from Chaldean Catholic dioceses.
