Certified translation of Moldovan civil records for IRCC and provincial use, and Moldovan interpreting for settlement and legal appointments, in Abbotsford and across Canada.
We provide certified translation into English of Moldova's Romanian civil records and of older Russian or Cyrillic documents from the Soviet period or Transnistria, identifying the language and script of each.
Moldovan is, in linguistic terms, the same language as Romanian, and Moldova's own constitutional court has recognised the state language as Romanian. It is written in the Latin alphabet. Moldovan applicants present birth, marriage and death certificates, education diplomas and police records, most of them issued in Romanian.
A recurring wrinkle is the Soviet past. Older records, and documents from the breakaway Transnistria region, may be in Russian in the Cyrillic script rather than in Romanian, so a single file can mix languages and alphabets. We identify which language and script each document uses and translate accordingly, matching name spellings to the passport where Romanian and Russian transliterations differ.
Translations are issued by a certified translator, or carried by a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a receiving body prefers one. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, a provincial registry or a body assessing foreign credentials.
Every certified Moldavan 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 Abbotsford gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Certified Moldovan translation in Abbotsford renders Romanian birth, marriage and education records, and older Russian or Cyrillic documents, into English for IRCC and provincial use, matching name spellings to the passport.
Abbotsford is the largest city in the Fraser Valley and the centre of one of British Columbia's most productive agricultural regions, with farming, food processing, manufacturing and aerospace among its key industries. It has a long-established and sizeable Punjabi Sikh community tied to generations of farming in the valley: Punjabi is the mother tongue of about 22.6 per cent of residents, and some of the province's oldest gurdwaras are located here.
The University of the Fraser Valley, which hosts a Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies, anchors post-secondary education, while Abbotsford Regional Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority. The Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia hear matters from the region and often require interpreters. Settlement agencies, clinics, farms and legal offices all rely on professional translation to serve residents and newcomers in Punjabi and other languages.
Our Moldovan interpreters cover settlement, legal, medical and occasional IRB settings in Abbotsford, served by Romanian speakers with regional and Russian-influenced vocabulary noted where it matters.
Moldovan interpreting arises in settlement, legal and medical appointments and occasionally in IRB matters. Many Moldovans are comfortable in Russian as well, so we ask about the stronger language at booking and match Romanian or Russian accordingly rather than assume one.
Because Moldovan and Romanian are the same language, a Romanian interpreter serves a Moldovan speaker, though everyday vocabulary carries some regional and Russian-influenced terms; we note this so nothing is misread. We assign on site in Abbotsford where an interpreter is near and by phone or video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Abbotsford we assign a Moldavan 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.
Moldavan, more commonly Moldovan, is the language of Moldova and is linguistically Romanian. The distinction is political rather than practical, and a Moldovan birth certificate is translated by a Romanian linguist. Older Soviet era records may be in Cyrillic and in Russian, so one family file can require two pairings. Moldovan arrivals in Canada have settled mainly in Ontario and Quebec, often alongside Romanian and Ukrainian communities with the same document patterns.
Our nationwide network of certified translators reaches Abbotsford and the surrounding region, so a Moldovan document in Romanian or Russian can be translated and returned wherever the file sits.
For in-person work in Abbotsford we assign a Moldavan translator who is based in or near the city, and the same Moldavan linguists cover the surrounding area:
Prism also serves Moldavan speakers in nearby communities such as Mission, Chilliwack, Hope and Harrison Hot Springs — on site across the Abbotsford area and by telephone or video anywhere in Canada.
In linguistic terms yes, and Moldova recognises the state language as Romanian, so a Romanian interpreter or translator serves a Moldovan speaker, with some regional and Russian-influenced vocabulary noted where it matters.
Yes. Older or Transnistrian records may be in Russian in the Cyrillic script, so we identify the language and script of each document and translate accordingly, matching name spellings to your passport.
Moldavan translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Abbotsford we assign a Moldavan interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
