Civil records, legal, medical, financial, technical and marketing — in 326 languages.
Most document translation projects fail in the same handful of ways. A birth certificate translation that IRCC rejects because of a missing certification. A contract that loses a key liability clause in translation. A medical record where a dosage decimal moves a place. A technical manual where the warning labels weren’t translated at all.
Prism Linguistics translates documents for Canadian clients in 326 languages, with English–French — Canada’s official language pair — our highest-demand combination. Every project is handled by a native human linguist and reviewed by a second bilingual editor before delivery. Civil documents, legal contracts, medical files, academic transcripts, financial reports, technical manuals and marketing copy — we accept your file in whatever native format you use (DOCX, PDF, IDML, XLIFF, HTML, JSON, CSV, scanned images) and return it in the same format, layout preserved. Certified translations are issued with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy in the format IRCC, Canadian courts and universities expect.

How we keep document translation defensible for IRCC officers, court clerks and auditors.
Translation, independent Editing by a second bilingual linguist, then Proofreading. Three sets of trained eyes on every certified project — no exceptions for "easy" documents.
Certified translations carry a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead with the translator’s signature, our corporate seal and the date — the format commonly accepted by IRCC, Canadian courts (provincial, superior and federal) and university registrars. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Source layout preserved on every page. Existing client glossaries imported at kick-off; new term decisions documented and reused across future projects and document sets.
