Prism Linguistics provides professional Danish interpreters and certified Danish translation across Canada. We cover business, legal, civil-status and medical matters, on site in the larger centres and by telephone or video anywhere in the country.
We arrange Danish interpreters for IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board appointments, commercial and contract meetings, notarial signings and medical consultations, matching a professional who works between Danish and English or French. Before the appointment we check with the client which language is wanted and what the session involves, so the Danish interpreter suits the setting.
For Canadian courts and tribunals we confirm what the specific court will accept, since interpreter requirements vary by province and case type. Sessions run on site in the larger centres or by telephone or video, which reaches a qualified Danish interpreter quickly wherever the appointment is. For a business or legal booking we ask for key terms and names in advance so figures and proper nouns stay consistent through the session.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
Certified Danish translation is the larger part of most Danish files. Danish uses the Latin alphabet with the extra letters ae, oe and aa, which a translator renders exactly since a single character can change a name or a place. Denmark is party to the Apostille Convention, so many civil records arrive apostilled, and the apostille is translated together with the document. We deliver a full English or French translation with a signed certificate of accuracy, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where the receiving body prefers one.
The records we see most are civil registry and CPR-based extracts, birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and transcripts, and company and notarial papers. Files are handled under PIPEDA, and health records under provincial rules such as PHIPA, with source and target copies returned together. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, a provincial registry, a Canadian university or a licensing body.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Danish translation, our full Danish translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Danish is the official language of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and a national language of Greenland, with around 6 million speakers. It's the most phonetically reduced of the mainland Scandinavian languages - written Danish is largely intelligible to Swedish and Norwegian speakers, but the spoken language can be challenging even for them. In Canada, requests come from southern Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia. Our Danish translation work includes genealogy (Danish church and civil records), Danish business contracts tied to shipping, manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors, and academic transcripts.
Denmark is an Apostille Convention country, so records are often apostilled abroad. We translate the apostille together with the document, though acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
