Prism Linguistics provides Macedonian interpreters and certified Macedonian translation across Canada. Macedonian is a South Slavic language written in its own Cyrillic alphabet, and Canada has one of the larger established Macedonian communities outside Europe, concentrated in the Greater Toronto Area with long-settled populations in southwestern Ontario. Work spans courts, hospitals, IRCC family files and estate and civil-registration translation.

Because the Canadian community is long established, much Macedonian interpreting serves first-generation and older speakers rather than new refugees, in settings such as courts and tribunals, hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, notarial and estate matters, and IRCC interviews for family sponsorship. Macedonian is close to Bulgarian and shares features with neighbouring Balkan Slavic speech, so we confirm the language rather than assume it, particularly with older speakers who may mix in regional or diaspora vocabulary.
On-site Macedonian interpreters are realistic in the Toronto area and across southwestern Ontario, where the community is largest, and telephone or video interpreting covers the rest of the country. We confirm the setting and register at booking, since a court hearing, a medical consultation and a business meeting each call for a different level of formality, and an interpreter renders each turn faithfully without adding advice.
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 Macedonian translation covers both recent civil records and older documents connected to a community that has been in Canada for generations. We deliver a complete English or French translation from the Cyrillic original with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where required, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
The papers we handle most are birth, marriage and death certificates, divorce judgments, court and property records, and education diplomas and transcripts, along with estate and inheritance documents that arise for established families. Names are transliterated from Macedonian Cyrillic to match the passport spelling, with any earlier or variant spelling noted, so a reviewing officer can follow one person across a set of records that may span decades.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Macedonian translation, our full Macedonian translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Macedonian is the official language of North Macedonia, with around 2 million native speakers. It's a Slavic language written in Cyrillic, closely related to Bulgarian - the two are largely mutually intelligible - but distinct enough that documents from North Macedonia should be translated by a Macedonian specialist, not a Bulgarian one. The Macedonian-Canadian community is centred on Toronto, home to one of the largest Macedonian populations outside the Balkans, with smaller concentrations elsewhere in southern Ontario. Our Macedonian translation work is mostly IRCC civil documents, academic transcripts, and the occasional business contract.
The languages are close, but they are distinct, so we assign a Macedonian interpreter for Macedonian and confirm the language at booking rather than assume a neighbouring Slavic speaker will serve.

Yes, in the Toronto area and across southwestern Ontario where the community is largest, and by phone or video anywhere else in Canada.
