- Translation in Burnaby
Nuer interpreting and certified translation for South Sudanese refugee, IRCC and medical matters in Burnaby and across Canada, with civil records often scarce and files resting on sworn declarations.
Nuer Translators in Burnaby
Certified translation for Nuer speakers in Burnaby often means rendering a sworn declaration or an Arabic-era record into English rather than a birth certificate, since civil registration in South Sudan is scarce, with dates noted where estimated.
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.
Nuer to English Translation Services in Burnaby
We provide certified translation into English of Nuer statements, sworn declarations and any Arabic or English records a claimant holds, reporting names, dates and stamps as printed and setting out the patronymic name order.
Nuer is a Nilotic language of South Sudan and western Ethiopia, written in the Latin alphabet with added letters and diacritics for its vowels and tones. South Sudan is a young country that has seen long conflict, so many Nuer speakers have few civil records, and a birth or marriage may never have been registered.
Because of this, files often rest on a sworn declaration of age or identity rather than a certificate, and any documents that do exist may be in Arabic from the earlier Sudanese period or in English. We translate what a claimant holds, render a Nuer statement into clear English, and report names, dates and any stamp as printed, noting where a date is estimated. Nuer names follow a given name with a father's and grandfather's name, and we set out the order plainly.
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 or the IRB.
Every certified Nuer 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.

Nuer Interpreters in Burnaby
Our Nuer interpreters cover refugee, medical, mental health and settlement settings around Burnaby, carrying files where records are scarce and delivered by phone or video for a dispersed community, with on-site attendance where an interpreter is near.
Most Nuer work is interpreting, and it is common in IRB refugee hearings, since South Sudan is a country of origin, and in medical, mental health and settlement appointments. Records are scarce, so oral testimony carries the file, and a claimant under stress is far more precise in Nuer, so a qualified interpreter is important and a claim can turn on a phrase.
Nuer has dialect variation, and a speaker may also use Arabic, Dinka or English, so we ask about home area and first language at intake and match accordingly rather than assume. Given a small and dispersed community, interpreting is often by phone or video, with on-site attendance in Burnaby where an interpreter is near, and we flag gender preference where raised.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Nuer 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 Nuer Language
Nuer (Naath) is a Nilotic language spoken by around 2 million people, primarily in South Sudan and the western Ethiopian borderlands. The Nuer are the second-largest ethnic group in South Sudan after the Dinka. The Nuer-speaking community in Canada is concentrated in cities that received South Sudanese refugee resettlement - Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg among them. Our Nuer translation work is overwhelmingly IRB refugee and family-sponsorship paperwork, alongside the healthcare and school-enrolment documents tied to refugee resettlement.

Nuer Translation in Burnaby: FAQs
I have no birth certificate. Can you still help with my file?
Yes. Civil registration is scarce in South Sudan, so files often rest on a sworn declaration of age or identity, which we translate exactly and note where a date is estimated. Whether it satisfies IRCC is decided by the receiving institution.
Some of my documents are in Arabic. Is that a problem?
No. Older records from the Sudanese period may be in Arabic, so we translate those alongside any English documents and any Nuer statement, reporting names, dates and stamps as printed.
Do you match Nuer dialect and gender preference?
Yes. We ask about home area and first language at intake, since a speaker may also use Arabic or Dinka, and we flag gender preference where a client raises it, which can matter in a hearing.
Do you have an office in Burnaby?
Nuer translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Burnaby we assign a Nuer interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
