Greenlandic Interpreters in Burnaby
Our Greenlandic interpreting covers IRCC interviews and medical appointments in Burnaby, with Kalaallisut kept distinct from Canadian Inuktitut and northern or eastern varieties matched by region.
Greenlandic interpreting requests are occasional and best arranged by phone or video given the very small number of speakers in Canada. Kalaallisut is the standard variety, and northern and eastern Greenlandic differ noticeably, so we note the speaker's home region when placing an interpreter.
Kalaallisut is related to Inuktitut spoken in Canada but is not simply interchangeable with it, so we do not substitute an Inuktitut speaker without checking. For the settings that do arise, such as an IRCC interview or a medical appointment, we confirm the language need in advance and arrange a remote interpreter where a local one is not available.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Greenlandic interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly.
Greenlandic Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby
Greenlandic interpreting in Burnaby is arranged for the occasional IRCC interview or medical appointment, usually by phone or video, with the speaker's home region noted so a northern or eastern variety is matched.
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 Greenlandic Language
Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) is the official language of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark with around 50,000 native speakers. It's an Inuit language closely related to Inuktitut - spoken across Arctic Canada - written in the Latin alphabet, with famously long agglutinative words built from many bound morphemes. There is no notable Greenlandic-speaking community in Canada and translation requests are extremely rare. Greenlandic documents from official sources often have parallel Danish versions, so Danish translation is usually a practical alternative.
