Prism Linguistics provides professional Lithuanian interpreters and certified Lithuanian translation across Canada. Lithuanian is a long-established community here, with older postwar roots and newer arrivals since Lithuania joined the European Union, and the largest concentrations are in the Greater Toronto Area and other major centres. We cover Canadian courts, IRCC and civil matters, business appointments and healthcare, on site in the main centres and by telephone or video anywhere in the country.

Lithuanian is a Baltic language with a demanding case system and its own grammar, and everyday speech differs from the formal register used in official settings; a good interpreter moves between them without flattening what a speaker actually said. Regional variation is modest compared with some languages, but we still match register and setting, which matters in a courtroom or a medical consultation.
Interpreters attend family and civil court, IRCC interviews, notarial and business appointments and hospital visits, keeping a neutral and complete rendering. Requirements vary by province, so tell us the court and case type and we confirm what will be accepted. On-site attendance is arranged in the main centres, with telephone and video across the rest of Canada.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
Certified Lithuanian translation covers the civil and legal records the community needs. Lithuanian is written in the Latin alphabet with several diacritics, and official documents carry stamps and seals that have to be rendered in full. We deliver a complete English or French translation with a signed certificate of translation accuracy, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where the receiving body asks for one.
The papers we see most are birth, marriage and death certificates, court and inheritance documents, police clearances and academic records for credential assessment. Names carry Lithuanian grammatical endings that can differ from a passport spelling, so we keep transliteration consistent with any passport or IRCC record you already hold. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, a provincial registry, a Canadian court or a university.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Lithuanian translation, our full Lithuanian translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Lithuanian is one of the oldest living Indo-European languages - linguists often note that it retains grammatical features lost in every other living member of the family, including Latin. About 3 million people speak it, mostly in Lithuania. The Lithuanian-Canadian community is well-established, with the largest concentration in Toronto and significant post-WWII displaced-persons roots. Our Lithuanian translation work is mostly genealogy and dual-citizenship documents (Lithuania allows descent-based citizenship), IRCC civil records, and the academic transcripts of Lithuanian students and professionals on Canadian study and work permits.
Yes. We provide certified translation of birth, marriage and death certificates, court and inheritance records and academic documents, or a sworn affidavit where required. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Lithuanian adds grammatical endings to names, so a record may not match a passport exactly. We keep the transliteration consistent with your passport or IRCC record and note any variant for the officer.
