Gaddang interpreting and related translation for an IRCC family file or a medical appointment, arranged on site where possible and by phone and video across Canada.
Certified Gaddang to English Translation in Burnaby
Certified English translation of the Filipino documents a Gaddang family holds beyond their English PSA records, such as church entries, affidavits and school papers, with a sworn affidavit where an original is missing.
Gaddang is an Austronesian language of the Cagayan Valley and the Nueva Vizcaya area in northern Luzon, the Philippines, written in the Latin alphabet. It is a separate language from the Ilocano and Tagalog spoken in the same region, so we confirm which language a document or a speaker actually uses.
Because the Philippine Statistics Authority issues birth, marriage and death certificates in English, a Gaddang family's core civil records generally do not need translating for use in Canada. Where translation is required it is usually for older local or church papers, affidavits or school records in Filipino, and we keep names consistent with the PSA spelling a family already uses. A translation is issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Gaddang 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 Burnaby gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Gaddang translation for the document service in full.
Gaddang Translation Services in Burnaby
Certified Gaddang-related translation in Burnaby is usually limited to older local, church or affidavit papers in Filipino, since Philippine civil records are already issued in English by the PSA.
Burnaby lies immediately east of Vancouver and is British Columbia's third largest city, home to major shopping, film production and technology employers around Metrotown and the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres. It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.
Simon Fraser University sits atop Burnaby Mountain and the British Columbia Institute of Technology is also based here, drawing international students and faculty. Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.

About the Gaddang Language
Gaddang is a Philippine language spoken by around 30,000 people in the upper Cagayan Valley of northern Luzon. It's one of dozens of indigenous Philippine languages. Philippine documents from the Cagayan Valley region are almost always in Tagalog/Filipino or English, so Gaddang work is usually interpreting rather than document translation.

Gaddang Translation Services in Burnaby: FAQs
My documents are already in English. Do I need a Gaddang translation?
Usually not. Philippine civil records are issued in English by the PSA. Translation is mainly for older local or church papers and affidavits in Filipino.
Is Gaddang the same as Ilocano or Tagalog?
No. Gaddang is a separate Philippine language, so when a client asks for Gaddang we assign a Gaddang interpreter and confirm the lowland or upland variety at booking.
Are Gaddang interpreters easy to find in Canada?
Tell us the date and setting and we confirm availability. Most Gaddang interpreting is by phone or video, and in-person attendance in Burnaby can be arranged where scheduling allows.
