Certified translation of Moldovan civil records for IRCC and provincial use, and Moldovan interpreting for settlement and legal appointments, in Kelowna 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 Kelowna gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Certified Moldovan translation in Kelowna 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.
Kelowna is the largest city in British Columbia's Interior and the hub of the Okanagan Valley, with a fast-growing economy built on tourism, wine, technology, agriculture and health care. English is the mother tongue of most residents, but the population is diversifying as the city grows: German remains a notable heritage language, French is present across the region, and Punjabi is among the fastest-growing non-official languages, rising to about 1.8 per cent of Central Okanagan residents at the 2021 census.
The University of British Columbia Okanagan and Okanagan College anchor post-secondary education, while Kelowna General Hospital operates under the Interior Health authority. The Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Provincial Court of British Columbia both sit in Kelowna and require interpreters for parties who speak little English. As immigration to the Interior increases through IRCC programs, settlement agencies, clinics and businesses rely more on professional translation and interpreting.
Our Moldovan interpreters cover settlement, legal, medical and occasional IRB settings in Kelowna, 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 Kelowna where an interpreter is near and by phone or video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Kelowna 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 Kelowna 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 Kelowna 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 West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Vernon, Penticton and Summerland — on site across the Kelowna 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 Kelowna we assign a Moldavan interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
