Certified Maltese to English translation and Maltese interpreting for IRCC and civil-status matters in Edmonton and across Canada; because Malta is bilingual, some records are already in English.
We provide certified Maltese to English translation of birth, marriage and death certificates and civil-status papers, including the apostille, while noting that Malta's bilingual records are often already in English.
Maltese is the national language of Malta and the only Semitic language written in the Latin alphabet, using extra marked letters. Malta is officially bilingual in Maltese and English, so some certificates are issued in English or in a bilingual form and need no translation, while others are in Maltese and do. Malta is in the European Union, and public documents often carry an apostille that we translate with the record.
Where a record is in Maltese, common requests are birth, marriage and death certificates and civil-status papers. We keep the transliteration of a Maltese name consistent across a file and note variants between the Maltese and English forms. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution such as IRCC or a provincial registry.
Every certified Maltese 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 Edmonton gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Certified Maltese to English translation in Edmonton covers the birth, marriage and civil-status records issued in Maltese, with any apostille translated too; some Maltese documents are already bilingual and need no translation.
Edmonton, Alberta's capital, anchors a metropolitan region built on energy, government, education and health care, and sits on Treaty 6 territory shared with Cree, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux and Metis peoples. Its largest non-official home languages are Punjabi and Tagalog, followed by Arabic, Mandarin and Cantonese, reflecting arrivals from South Asia, the Philippines, the Middle East and China.
These communities drive steady need for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench of Alberta and the Alberta Court of Justice hear cases in Edmonton, while the University of Alberta Hospital and Alberta Health Services support patients across dozens of languages. The University of Alberta, the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers and other settlement agencies help IRCC newcomers, and employers in energy, healthcare and public services frequently require professionally translated documents and interpreters.
Our Maltese interpreters cover IRCC interviews, citizenship, legal and medical appointments in Edmonton on the occasions the language itself is needed, with minor local differences noted.
Maltese has only minor local differences, so one interpreter generally covers any speaker. Nearly all Maltese speakers are also fluent in English, so a dedicated Maltese interpreter is needed less often than for many languages; it is arranged where an older speaker or a specific matter calls for the language itself.
Where required, we arrange interpreters for IRCC interviews, citizenship matters, legal and medical appointments. Interpreters attend on site in Edmonton or join by phone and video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Edmonton we assign a Maltese 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.
Maltese is unique among European languages: a Semitic language (closely related to Arabic, particularly North African Maghrebi dialects) but written in the Latin alphabet and saturated with Italian and English vocabulary. It's the national language of Malta and an official EU language, with around 500,000 speakers. The Maltese-Canadian community is centred on Toronto - the Junction neighbourhood historically hosted one of the largest Maltese communities in North America. Our Maltese translation work is mostly genealogy and dual-citizenship documents (Malta allows it), IRCC civil records, and the occasional commercial contract tied to Malta's financial-services sector.

Maybe not. Malta is bilingual, so some records are issued in English or bilingually and are accepted as they are; a Maltese-only record is translated as a certified translation.
Yes. Malta is in the European Union and public documents often carry an apostille, which we translate along with the record.
