- Translation in Burnaby
Moshi-Dagomba interpreting in Burnaby 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 to English Translation Services in Burnaby
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 Burnaby gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Moshi Dagomba Translation Services in Burnaby
Certified translation for Moshi-Dagomba families in Burnaby usually runs from the French or English civil records that Burkina Faso and Ghana issue, since Mossi and Dagbani are seldom written formally, with each document rendered exactly as it stands.
Burnaby lies immediately east of Vancouver and is British Columbia's third largest city, home to major shopping, film production and technology employers around Metrotown and the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres. It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.
Simon Fraser University sits atop Burnaby Mountain and the British Columbia Institute of Technology is also based here, drawing international students and faculty. Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.
Moshi Dagomba Interpreters in Burnaby
Moshi-Dagomba interpreting in Burnaby 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 Burnaby arranged where an interpreter is available locally.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby 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.
About the Moshi Dagomba Language
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.
