Moshi-Dagomba interpreting in Thunder Bay and across Canada, mainly for IRCC interviews and refugee hearings; the community here is small and document work usually runs from French or English civil records.
Moshi-Dagomba interpreting in Thunder Bay for interviews and hearings, mostly by phone and video given the small community, with the speaker's specific language confirmed in advance.
Demand is occasional and interpreting-led, tied to hearings and interviews rather than paperwork. Mossi and Dagbani are distinct languages within this grouping, so at booking we ask which one the speaker uses, and whether they are more comfortable in that language or in French or English, since many speakers also use the country's official language.
Interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, Canadian court matters, and hospital or clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA. The community is small, so most sessions run by phone or video, with in-person attendance in Thunder Bay arranged where an interpreter is available locally.
For an in-person assignment in Thunder Bay we assign a Moshi Dagomba 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.
Moshi-Dagomba interpreters in Thunder Bay for IRCC interviews and IRB refugee hearings, matched to whether the speaker uses Mossi or Dagbani and to whether French or English is a comfortable alternative.
Thunder Bay is the largest city in northwestern Ontario and a regional hub on Lake Superior, serving a district roughly the size of France. It is home to Lakehead University, Confederation College and NOSM University, and the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre provides care to more than 245,000 people across the northwest. The city has the region's largest Francophone community, with about 2.5 per cent reporting French as a mother tongue, alongside a significant Indigenous population.
Ojibwe and Oji-Cree, known as Anishininiimowin, are spoken across the surrounding communities, and the city acts as a service centre for many remote First Nations. Courts, hospitals and social services here frequently require Indigenous-language and French interpreting, together with newer immigrant languages. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice, including Small Claims Court, serve the district, sustaining ongoing demand for translation and interpreting.

Certified French or English to English translation of birth and marriage certificates, family record books and identity cards for Mossi and Dagbani speakers, issued by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit where requested.
Moshi-Dagomba refers to closely related Gur languages of the West African interior, chiefly Mossi, or Mòoré, of Burkina Faso and Dagbani of northern Ghana. These are mainly spoken languages, written in a Latin alphabet where they are written at all, so there is seldom a formal document in the language itself. Civil records come in the official language of the issuing country, French in Burkina Faso and English in Ghana, and a certified translation works from those.
Where documents accompany a claim they are the usual immigration set, birth and marriage certificates, family record books and national identity cards, plus any refugee or UNHCR papers, translated from French or English. Each translation can be issued by a certified translator or accompanied by a sworn affidavit where a Canadian body asks for one, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Moshi Dagomba 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 Thunder Bay gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Moshi-Dagomba refers to the Mossi-Gurma group of Gur languages spoken across northern Ghana, Burkina Faso (where Mossi / Moore is the largest language), and Togo. Around 8 million people speak Moore, the largest member of the group. The Mossi-Dagomba-speaking community in Canada is part of the broader West African immigrant population. Our Moshi-Dagomba translation work is rare; documents from these regions are typically in French (Burkina Faso, Togo) or English (Ghana) and routed accordingly.
