Nauruan interpreting and occasional certified translation for IRCC and civil matters in Markham and across Canada, arranged for a negligible community.
We provide certified translation into English of the occasional older or non-English Nauruan record a family holds, since routine Nauruan certificates are available in English, with a sworn affidavit where a receiving body prefers one.
Nauruan is the Micronesian language of the island republic of Nauru, written in the Latin alphabet with a set of accented letters that are not always printed consistently, so a translator has to read the intended letters carefully. Nauru uses English alongside Nauruan in government, and its civil records are generally available in English, so a birth, marriage or death certificate rarely needs translation from Nauruan.
The Nauruan-speaking community in Canada is negligible, and requests are rare and one-off. Where a genuinely Nauruan document appears, such as a church or older handwritten record, we translate it into English and, where a receiving body prefers, support it with a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths. Output is issued by a certified translator, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC or a provincial registry.
Every certified Nauruan 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 Markham gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Nauruan translation for the document service in full.
Certified Nauruan-related translation in Markham is rare, since Nauru makes civil records available in English; where an older or non-English Nauruan record needs rendering we translate it into English and support it with a sworn affidavit if a receiving body asks.
Markham is among Canada's most diverse cities and a major centre of the Chinese Canadian community. Cantonese is the mother tongue of roughly 22 per cent of residents and Mandarin of about 13 per cent, followed by Tamil, and by Persian, Urdu, Tagalog, Gujarati and Punjabi. More than 40 per cent of residents are immigrants, and a large share speaks a non-official language at home.
This diversity creates constant demand for translation and interpreting. Newcomers filing IRCC and permanent residence applications need certified document translation, while Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital relies on interpreters for patient care. The new York University Markham Campus, which opened in 2024, and Seneca Polytechnic serve a multilingual student body. Markham falls under York Region's justice system, where the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice, including Small Claims Court, sit at the Newmarket courthouse.
Our Nauruan interpreting covers IRCC interviews and medical appointments for Markham, arranged for a negligible community and confirmed for availability, with English used where the speaker prefers it.
Given how few speakers there are, Nauruan interpreting is arranged only occasionally and is handled almost entirely by phone and video rather than on site. We can still attend in person in Markham where a speaker genuinely needs it for an IRCC interview or a medical appointment.
Most Nauruans also speak English, so tell us plainly whether a Nauruan interpreter is truly needed or whether English will serve, and note if the speaker is more comfortable in another Pacific language, so we do not book a scarce interpreter unnecessarily.
For an in-person assignment in Markham we assign a Nauruan 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.
Nauruan is the national language of Nauru - the world's smallest island nation, with a population under 12,000. Around 7,000 people speak Nauruan; English is the language of administration. The Nauruan-speaking community in Canada is essentially non-existent; translation requests are extremely rare.

Usually not, since Nauru makes civil records available in English. We can review your documents and translate only a non-English record a receiving institution needs.
The community is very small, so we arrange Nauruan interpreting occasionally, mostly by phone or video, and confirm availability before you rely on it.
