Certified Greek translation and Greek interpreting for civil records, estates, IRCC and medical needs in Surrey and across Canada.
We provide certified Greek to English translation of birth, marriage and death certificates, baptismal and church records, family status certificates, diplomas, and pension and property documents, with an attached apostille translated alongside, issued by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit.
Greek uses its own alphabet, and names transliterate into English in more than one accepted way, so the same surname can appear with different spellings across old and new papers. We translate the records the Greek community in Canada uses most: birth, marriage and death certificates, baptismal and church records, family status certificates, diplomas, and pension and property documents tied to Greece.
Documents issued in Greece for use in Canada often carry an apostille, since Greece is party to the Hague Apostille Convention. We translate the apostille along with the underlying document, and we keep name spellings consistent with your passport or citizenship record so an estate, pension or property file reads as one person throughout.
Translations are provided as a certified translation by a qualified translator, or as a sworn affidavit where a body prefers one. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as a Canadian court handling an estate, a provincial registry, IRCC or a pension authority.
Every certified Greek 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 Surrey gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Prism arranges certified Greek translation and Greek translators in Surrey for civil records, estates, IRCC files and pension and property matters tied to Greece. Name spellings are kept consistent with your passport so an estate or pension file reads as one person throughout.
Surrey is the second largest city in British Columbia and one of the fastest growing in the province, with a young, diverse population spread across town centres such as Whalley, Guildford, Newton and Cloverdale. It is home to one of Canada's largest South Asian communities: about 38 per cent of residents identify as South Asian, and Punjabi is the most widely spoken non-official mother tongue, reported by more than 128,000 people, alongside sizeable Tagalog, Hindi and Chinese speaking populations.
Surrey Memorial Hospital, part of the Fraser Health authority, and the Simon Fraser University Surrey campus serve these multilingual residents, as do numerous settlement agencies helping newcomers arriving through IRCC. The Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia hear matters from the region and often require interpreters, sustaining consistent demand for translation across health care, legal and business settings.
Our Greek interpreters handle hospital, home-care and legal appointments in Surrey, working patiently with elderly speakers and familiar with healthcare and estate vocabulary.
Much of the demand is for older Greek Canadians who are more comfortable in Greek for medical, hospital and home-care appointments, and for legal matters such as wills, powers of attorney and estate meetings. We can send an interpreter used to healthcare and legal vocabulary and to working patiently with elderly speakers.
Interpreting is available in Surrey on site, and by phone or video across Canada. The interpreter keeps everything said confidential, and for healthcare this follows PHIPA and PIPEDA privacy expectations.
For an in-person assignment in Surrey we assign a Greek 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.
Prism runs a nationwide network of certified translators, so Greek translation reaches Surrey and the surrounding area by email, returned formatted beside the original.
For in-person work in Surrey we assign a Greek translator who is based in or near the city, and the same Greek linguists cover the surrounding area:
Prism also serves Greek speakers in nearby communities such as White Rock, Delta, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows — on site across the Surrey area and by telephone or video anywhere in Canada.
Greek is the official language of Greece and Cyprus, with roughly 13 million speakers worldwide - and one of the world's oldest continuously written languages. The Greek-Canadian community numbers roughly 250,000, centred on Montreal (Park Extension and Laval) and Toronto (the Danforth), with a smaller community in Vancouver. Most of our Greek translation work is civil and genealogy-driven: Greek birth, marriage, and baptismal records translated for Canadian courts, for university credential evaluation, and for descendants of early-20th-century emigrants applying for Greek citizenship by descent. Greek uses its own alphabet, which is also the basis for Cyrillic.
