Hindustani interpreting and certified translation in Saint John and across Canada, where the spoken language is one thing and the document is almost always written as Hindi or Urdu.
Hindustani Interpreters in Saint John
Our Hindustani interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews, court and medical settings in Saint John, matched to a Hindi, Urdu or diaspora variety such as Fiji Hindi or Sarnami.
Spoken Hindustani is broadly shared by Hindi and Urdu speakers, but register and vocabulary shift with background: a Delhi speaker, a Lucknow Urdu speaker and a Fiji Hindi or Caribbean Sarnami speaker will not phrase things identically. At booking we confirm the speaker's origin and whether they identify their speech as Hindi, Urdu or a diaspora variety, so an interpreter matches the level and idiom.
Our interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews, Canadian court and legal-aid matters, and hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA. Because Hindi and Urdu speakers understand each other in speech, one interpreter can often cover both, and we attend on site in Saint John or join by phone and video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Saint John we assign a Hindustani 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.
Hindustani Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Saint John
Hindustani interpreters in Saint John attend IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and court matters, often covering Hindi and Urdu speakers together, with the speaker's origin and register confirmed first.
Saint John is New Brunswick's largest port city and one of Canada's oldest incorporated cities. Historically the colony's busiest immigration gateway, its largely ice-free harbour welcomed roughly 150,000 Irish immigrants during the nineteenth century. Today the city pursues an ambitious immigration strategy aimed at attracting many thousands of newcomers over the coming decade to drive population growth.
New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, so English-French translation is a routine need, alongside growing demand for other languages as immigration rises. The Saint John Newcomers Centre guides settlement, while healthcare, education and the port economy serve an increasingly diverse population. Certified documents are frequently required for the Court of King's Bench of New Brunswick and the Provincial Court, and for IRCC applications, credential assessment, and provincial and municipal services across the region.

Hindustani to English Translation Services in Saint John
Certified English translation of the Hindi or Urdu records a Hindustani speaker holds, such as birth, marriage and divorce certificates, transcripts and police clearance certificates, with names kept consistent across scripts.
Hindustani is the common spoken language of northern India and Pakistan, the everyday register behind two written standards: Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, and Urdu, written in a Perso-Arabic script that reads right to left. There is no separate official written form called Hindustani, so a document a speaker brings will be in Hindi or in Urdu, and we translate from the script the record actually uses.
We handle birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates, educational transcripts, police clearance certificates and court papers for IRCC applications, credential assessments and legal matters. Overseas Hindustani communities in the Caribbean and Fiji, whose speech is often called Sarnami or Fiji Hindi, usually hold English civil records, so their translation needs are frequently lighter and more about interpreting. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Hindustani 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 Saint John gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

About the Hindustani Language
Hindustani is the historical and linguistic name for what is now usually called either Hindi or Urdu - two standardized forms of essentially the same spoken language, distinguished primarily by their writing systems and registers (Hindi uses Devanagari and draws on Sanskrit; Urdu uses Perso-Arabic Nastaliq and draws on Persian and Arabic). Around 500 million people speak some form of Hindustani as a first or second language. For Canadian translation work, "Hindustani" requests are usually resolved to either Hindi or Urdu based on the source document's script - see those pages.
Hindustani Interpreting in Saint John: FAQs
Is my document Hindustani, or Hindi or Urdu?
In writing it will be Hindi in Devanagari or Urdu in Perso-Arabic script. Hindustani is the shared spoken language, so we translate from whichever script your record uses.
Can one interpreter cover both Hindi and Urdu speakers?
Often yes, because the spoken language is largely shared. We still confirm the speaker's background so the register and vocabulary match.
My records are from Fiji or the Caribbean and already in English. What do I need?
Those communities usually hold English civil records, so the need is often interpreting rather than translation. We arrange a speaker of the diaspora variety where possible.
Do you have an office in Saint John?
Hindustani translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Saint John we assign a Hindustani interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
