Certified Greek translation and Greek interpreting for civil records, estates, IRCC and medical needs in Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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.
Vaughan, in York Region north of Toronto, is a fast-growing and multicultural city with deep Italian roots and expanding newcomer communities. Italian remains the most widely understood non-official language, followed by Russian, Mandarin, Hebrew and Spanish. About 27 per cent of residents speak a non-official language most often at home, and roughly one in four has been a landed immigrant or permanent resident.
This diversity supports ongoing demand for translation and interpreting across immigration, healthcare, business and legal services. Newcomers preparing IRCC applications need certified document translation, while Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, which opened in 2021, relies on interpreters for patient care. Vaughan is served by York Region's courts, where the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice, including Small Claims Court, sit at the Newmarket courthouse, handling civil, family and criminal matters.
Our Greek interpreters handle hospital, home-care and legal appointments in Vaughan, 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 Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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.

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.
