Prism Linguistics provides professional Romanian interpreters and certified Romanian translation across Canada. Romanian work is mostly immigration, civil-records and credential matters rather than asylum, and it covers Romania and Moldova, where the national language is the same. Romanian communities in Canada are largest in the Greater Toronto Area, the Kitchener-Waterloo region and around Montreal.

Romanian is a Romance language written in a Latin alphabet, and speakers from Romania and Moldova use the same standard, so a single interpreter serves both; where a Moldovan speaker also uses Russian, tell us so we can plan the appointment. We match interpreters for IRCC interviews, citizenship and permanent-residence appointments, and business and notarial meetings.
For Canadian courts and tribunals we confirm ahead what the specific court expects, as interpreter rules differ by province, and in healthcare the interpreter renders the patient's words in full for consent and history-taking. On-site interpreters attend in the main centres, with telephone and video available across Canada. We are a private agency, not 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 Romanian translation is a large part of the work, and Romanian uses a Latin alphabet with the letter a carrying a breve and a circumflex and the comma-below s and t, marks that carry meaning and are kept in names. We deliver a full English or French translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where the receiving body asks for one.
The records we handle most are birth, marriage and divorce certificates, diplomas and transcripts for credential assessment, police clearances and civil-status documents from Romania and Moldova. Some carry an apostille under the Hague Convention, which we translate along with the document; names are matched to the passport spelling. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Romanian translation, our full Romanian translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Romanian is the Romance language of Eastern Europe - closely related to Italian and French, but written in a region surrounded by Slavic languages, with which it shares some vocabulary. Around 24 million people speak it as a native language, mostly in Romania and Moldova. In Canada the Romanian community numbers roughly 200,000, concentrated in Toronto and Montreal - the latter helped by the francophone affinity that draws Romanian speakers to Quebec. Our Romanian translation work is a balanced mix of IRCC civil documents (birth, marriage, divorce records), Romanian school transcripts being evaluated for Canadian universities, and the credential paperwork that comes with the growing Romanian medical and IT professional presence and provincial licensing bodies.
