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 St Johns and across Canada, with attention to whether a document was issued in Romania or Moldova.
Certified Romanian translation in St Johns 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.
St. John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador and the province's largest city. Its growth is driven substantially by international students at Memorial University of Newfoundland, which enrolls thousands of students from more than 100 countries. St. John's has among the highest shares of immigrants who previously held study permits of any city in Canada.
While English is overwhelmingly dominant, this international student population and steady immigration create demand for translation and interpreting in academic, healthcare, and legal settings. Newcomers require certified document translation for IRCC applications, the Provincial Nominee Program, credential recognition, and settlement. Legal translations are frequently needed for the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Provincial Court, as well as for Eastern Health services and provincial government offices.
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. Prism Linguistics is a private agency and not a court-appointed office, and 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 St Johns gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Romanian interpreters in St Johns for IRB hearings and medical consent discussions, rendering the speaker's own words, with any Romanian and Russian mix in a household flagged before the appointment.
Romanian interpreting covers immigration and citizenship appointments, family and civil matters in provincial courts, and hospital settings for older speakers who settled here in earlier waves. Because Romanian is shared with Moldova, an interpreter can usually work across speakers from both, but we still confirm origin at intake, since some Moldovan speakers are more comfortable in Russian and a mixed-language household can need that flagged 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 where a case involves both Romanian and Russian we say so up front rather than discovering it in the room.
For an in-person assignment in St Johns we assign a Romanian 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.
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.

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. Prism Linguistics is a private agency, not a government office, and the receiving institution makes the final decision on acceptance.
