Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) translation and interpreting for IRCC and personal-document matters in Regina and across Canada, with records often running from Danish.
Greenlandic to English Translation Services in Regina
We provide certified translation into English of Greenlandic personal and civil records, handling Danish-language records as Danish and Kalaallisut passages directly, with a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a record is incomplete.
Greenlandic, or Kalaallisut, is an Inuit language of Greenland written in the Latin alphabet. It is polysynthetic, so a single very long word can carry what English needs a whole clause for, which is why a competent human translator matters more than a word count suggests. Because Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, many official records are issued in Danish or in both languages, so a birth, marriage or civil record is frequently translated from Danish to English rather than from Greenlandic.
The community in Canada is negligible and requests are rare, usually tied to a single personal document, a family matter or an IRCC file. Where a record exists only in Danish we handle it as Danish; where a Greenlandic document or passage is involved we translate that directly. Output is issued by a certified translator, or supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a record is incomplete, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Greenlandic 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 Regina gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Greenlandic Translators in Regina
Greenlandic translation in Regina often runs from Danish, since Greenland's records are issued in Danish or in both languages; where a Kalaallisut document is involved we translate it directly, with a sworn affidavit where a record is incomplete.
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, a centre for government, agriculture, energy and finance on Treaty 4 territory and in the homeland of the Metis. Immigration has reshaped the city, with newcomers making up a large share of recent growth. Tagalog and Punjabi are the most common non-official mother tongues, followed by Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, while Cree, Michif and other Indigenous languages remain part of the region.
This diversity creates steady demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan and the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan both sit in Regina, and the Regina General Hospital under the Saskatchewan Health Authority treats patients across many languages. The University of Regina, the Regina Open Door Society and other settlement agencies serving IRCC newcomers, and employers in government, agriculture and energy regularly need accurate translation and interpreting.
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.
Greenlandic Interpreters in Regina
Our Greenlandic interpreting covers IRCC interviews and medical appointments in Regina, 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 Regina we assign a Greenlandic 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.

Greenlandic Translation in Regina: FAQs
My Greenlandic record is actually in Danish. Can you still help?
Yes. Many Greenlandic records are issued in Danish, and we translate those from Danish to English; where a passage is in Kalaallisut we translate that directly.
Is Greenlandic the same as Inuktitut?
They are related Inuit languages but not interchangeable. We do not substitute an Inuktitut speaker for Kalaallisut without confirming it works for the speaker.
There are very few speakers here. How is interpreting handled?
Requests are rare and usually arranged by phone or video. Tell us the setting and the speaker's home region and we place a matched interpreter.
Do you have an office in Regina?
Greenlandic translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Regina we assign a Greenlandic interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
