Kabye interpreting and certified translation for IRB, IRCC and medical matters in Quebec City and across Canada, with Togolese civil records issued in French.
Our Kabye interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews, legal aid and medical appointments in Quebec City, matched to Kabye specifically rather than assumed to follow Ewe.
We arrange Kabye interpreters for IRB refugee protection hearings, IRCC interviews, legal aid, and hospital and clinic appointments. Many Kabye speakers also use French or Ewe, but a speaker is most precise giving testimony in Kabye.
Interpreters attend on site in Quebec City or join by phone and video across Canada. The Kabye-speaking community here is small, so remote sessions are common and let us match a Kabye speaker rather than the nearest available.
For an in-person assignment in Quebec City we assign a Kabye 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.
Kabye interpreters in Quebec City attend IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews and clinic appointments, carrying testimony in a mother tongue a speaker follows more precisely than French or Ewe.
Quebec City, the provincial capital, has a population of about 550,000 and is one of the most strongly French-speaking major cities in North America, with French the mother tongue of the large majority of residents. As the seat of the National Assembly and much of Quebec's public administration, the city generates constant demand for precise French-language documentation in government, healthcare, education and the courts. Universite Laval, the oldest French-language university on the continent, draws thousands of international students who often need academic records and diplomas translated.
The Charter of the French Language and Bill 96, administered by the Office quebecois de la langue francaise, require that many official and business documents be produced in French, so certified translation is frequently needed for civil-status records, contracts and immigration files. Newcomers processing applications with IRCC, along with parties appearing before the Superior Court of Quebec and the Court of Quebec at the Quebec City courthouse, rely on faithful translated and interpreted material.
The same network provides Kabye interpreting in and around Quebec City, on site for a local hearing or by phone and video for an appointment anywhere in Canada.
For in-person work in Quebec City we assign a Kabye interpreter who is based in or near the city, and the same Kabye linguists cover the surrounding area:
Prism also serves Kabye speakers in nearby communities such as Levis, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, L'Ancienne-Lorette, Boischatel, Sainte-Brigitte-de-Laval and Shannon — on site across the Quebec City area and by telephone or video anywhere in Canada.
We provide certified translation into English of the French Togolese records a Kabye-speaking family holds, such as birth, marriage and death certificates, with a sworn affidavit where a rural birth was registered late.
Kabye (also spelled Kabiye) is a Gur language of northern Togo and the second most widely spoken language of the country after Ewe. It is written in the Latin alphabet with additional letters and tone marks. Because Togo issues civil records in French, a Togolese birth, marriage or death certificate is normally translated from French to English, and the Kabye element of a file is most often the interpreting rather than a written document.
Where a rural birth was registered late or a French record is handwritten and unclear, a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths can explain how a name or date was established, and we keep the French spelling of a Kabye name consistent with the passport. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by affidavit, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution such as IRCC, the IRB or a provincial registry.
Every certified Kabye 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 Quebec City gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Kabye (Kabiye) is a Gur language spoken by around 1 million people in northern Togo and adjacent areas of Benin. It has co-official status alongside Ewe and French in Togo. The Kabye-speaking community in Canada is very small, part of the broader Togolese diaspora, much of which has settled in francophone Quebec. Our Kabye translation work is rare; Togolese documents are typically in French (the country's main administrative language) and routed accordingly.
We translate it from French to English as a certified translation; the Kabye part of your file is usually the interpreting. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
No; Kabye and Ewe are different languages. Tell us you need Kabye and we match accordingly for a hearing or a medical visit.
Yes; a sworn affidavit can accompany the translation to set out how a name or date was established, subject to the receiving institution's decision.
