Marshallese translation and interpreting in Saint John and across Canada; the community here is very small, and both document and spoken work are usually handled remotely by phone and video.
Marshallese to English Translation Services in Saint John
Certified Marshallese to English translation of birth, marriage and death certificates and identity papers where a record is not already in English, issued by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit where requested.
Marshallese is a Micronesian language of the Marshall Islands, written in a Latin alphabet. English is an official language there alongside Marshallese, so many civil documents are issued in English or in a bilingual form, which means a certified translation is often unnecessary and the practical need is simply a certified copy or a short declaration.
Where a record is in Marshallese, such as a local certificate or church register, we translate it from the text as it stands. Documents typically include birth, marriage and death certificates and identity papers, and for IRCC applications these are usually filed with a certified translation only where the record is not already in English, with acceptance ultimately depending on the receiving institution.
Every certified Marshallese 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.

Marshallese Translators in Saint John
Marshallese translation in Saint John is often unnecessary because English is official in the Marshall Islands and many records are already in it; where a document is in Marshallese we translate it from the text as it stands.
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.

Marshallese Interpreters in Saint John
Marshallese interpreting in Saint John for interviews and appointments where required, almost always by phone or video, with the speaker's need for the language confirmed in advance.
Marshallese demand in Canada is occasional, and many speakers also use English, so at booking we confirm whether an interpreter is genuinely needed and, if so, match a speaker of the language. Given the very small community, the interpreter almost always joins remotely.
Where interpreting is required, sessions cover IRCC interviews, medical appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, and settlement or school meetings. These run by phone or video, with in-person attendance in Saint John arranged only where an interpreter happens to be available locally.

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.
About the Marshallese Language
Marshallese is the national language of the Marshall Islands - a Micronesian state in free association with the United States under the Compact of Free Association. Around 60,000 people speak it. The Compact has channelled most Marshallese emigration to the United States, so the community in Canada is very small; Marshallese speakers in Canada are served through our national interpreter network. Translation requests are typically IRCC family-sponsorship paperwork, school-enrolment documents, and healthcare-related material.
