Prism Linguistics provides certified Romanian translation of Romanian and Moldovan civil records for IRCC and the courts, and Romanian interpreters for immigration, legal and medical appointments in Halifax and across Canada, with attention to whether a document was issued in Romania or Moldova.
Certified Romanian translation in Halifax for IRCC files, provincial registrars and the Canadian courts, covering civil records from both Romania and Moldova with the issuing country identified precisely. A certified translator renders the diacritics carefully and matches each name to the passport.
Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and the largest city in Atlantic Canada, with a metropolitan population of roughly 530,000. It receives the majority of immigrants who settle in Atlantic Canada and about 80 percent of those coming to Nova Scotia, drawing newcomers from around the world. English is the dominant language, though French, Arabic, Mandarin and other tongues are increasingly heard across the region.
This steady arrival of immigrants and international students sustains ongoing demand for translation and interpreting across healthcare, legal and government settings. Dalhousie University and the QEII Health Sciences Centre serve diverse patients and researchers, while the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia supports settlement. Certified and legal documents are frequently required for the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and the Provincial Court, and for IRCC applications, credential assessment, and municipal services throughout the Halifax region.
Certified Romanian to English translation of birth and marriage certificates, apostilled records and older Moldovan documents that may carry Russian or Cyrillic entries, with marginal notes and stamps translated in full.
Romanian is written in the Latin alphabet with its own diacritics, and the same language is the official one of both Romania and the Republic of Moldova, which is where a lot of the practical work lies. A Romanian birth certificate (certificat de nastere) and marriage certificate follow the Romanian civil registry format, and many carry an apostille for use abroad. Moldovan documents are in Romanian too, but older records from the Soviet period can appear in Russian or in Cyrillic script, so a single family file sometimes needs a translator comfortable with both.
A translator has to be precise about the issuing country and authority, because IRCC and a provincial registrar will read Romania and Moldova as distinct jurisdictions even when the language is identical. Diacritics change meaning and change how a name is spelled, so the letters with a cedilla or a breve should be rendered carefully and the name matched to the passport rather than stripped to plain letters. Handwritten older certificates need the marginal notes and stamps translated, not summarised.
For IRCC and provincial bodies the translation should come from a certified translator, or carry a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where the translator is not certified. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Romanian 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 Halifax gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Romanian translation for the document service in full.
Romanian interpreters in Halifax for IRB hearings and medical consent discussions, rendering the speaker's own words, with the interpreting requirements confirmed before the appointment.
Romanian interpreting covers immigration and citizenship appointments, family and civil matters in provincial courts, and hospital settings. Because Romanian is shared with Moldova, a Romanian interpreter can work with speakers from both countries, and we still confirm the speaker's country and preferred language at intake so the right Romanian interpreter is assigned before a hearing.
The interpreter renders in the first person and preserves the speaker's own words, which matters in an IRB hearing or a medical consent discussion. We assign in person, by phone or by video, and we confirm the interpreting requirements up front rather than discovering them in the room.
For an in-person assignment in Halifax we assign a Romanian interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly. See Romanian interpreter in Halifax for the full interpreting service.
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 demand is highest in Toronto and Montreal. 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 credential paperwork for provincial licensing bodies.

The language is the same, so a Romanian translator handles both, but we identify the issuing country and authority precisely because IRCC and provincial registrars treat Romania and Moldova as separate jurisdictions. Older Moldovan records may include Russian or Cyrillic entries, which we translate as part of the same file.
Yes. Romanian diacritics affect both meaning and spelling, so we render them carefully and match your name to the spelling on your passport rather than reducing it to plain letters, which helps an immigration file read as one consistent identity.
We provide translation by a certified translator where available, or a translation with a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where it is not. The receiving institution makes the final decision on acceptance.
