Prism Linguistics provides Mongolian interpreters and certified Mongolian translation across Canada. Mongolian is the language of Mongolia, written there in the Cyrillic alphabet, with a related traditional vertical script still used by Mongols in China, and the community here is growing through study and skilled immigration, with the largest numbers in the Greater Toronto Area. We cover IRCC files, courts, hospitals and business appointments, on site in the main centres and by telephone or video anywhere in the country.

The most useful thing to tell us when you book a Mongolian interpreter is whether the speaker is from Mongolia itself or from the Mongol areas of China, since the standard Khalkha of Mongolia and the varieties spoken in Inner Mongolia differ in vocabulary and in some pronunciation. Most immigration and study work involves Khalkha speakers, and we match an interpreter to the setting, whether a study permit interview, a commercial file or a hospital consultation, each of which uses very different terms.
Interpreters work in IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board interviews, Canadian court and tribunal hearings, hospital and clinic appointments covered by provincial privacy rules such as PHIPA and PIPEDA, and business meetings. In healthcare they give a complete rendering rather than a summary, which matters for consent and history-taking. On-site interpreting is available in the main centres and telephone or video interpreting anywhere in Canada. Requirements vary by province and case type, so we confirm what a specific court will accept, and we are a private agency rather than a court-appointed vendor.
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 Mongolian translation is the other half of most Mongolian files. Records from Mongolia are written in Mongolian Cyrillic, while older or Chinese-side documents may use the traditional vertical script, and a translator reads whichever the document uses. We translate the full text into English or French with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where the receiving body asks for one.
The documents we handle most are Mongolian birth, marriage and death certificates, the civil registration and national identity records, university diplomas and transcripts, police clearances and business documents prepared for permanent residence, study permits and credential assessment. Mongolian names commonly use a patronymic followed by a given name, which we set out clearly and match to the passport spelling, noting any variant for the officer. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Mongolian translation, our full Mongolian translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia, with around 5 million native speakers, plus an additional 6 million speakers in Inner Mongolia (an autonomous region of China). The two communities use different writing systems - Mongolia uses Cyrillic, while Inner Mongolia uses the traditional vertical Mongolian script that descends from Old Uighur. Mongolia is in the middle of a transition back to the traditional script in parallel with Cyrillic. The Mongolian community in Canada is small but growing, with speakers mainly in Toronto and other large cities. Most of our Mongolian translation work is IRCC civil documents and educational transcripts.
Records from Mongolia are in Mongolian Cyrillic; older or Chinese-side documents may use the traditional vertical script. We read both and translate the full text into English or French with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy or a sworn affidavit where required.
