Sena interpreting and certified document translation in Regina and across Canada, mostly for refugee, IRCC and medical matters; the community here is small.
Our Sena interpreters cover refugee, medical and settlement appointments in Regina, and we confirm the speaker's country because the second language differs, Portuguese in Mozambique and Chichewa or English in Malawi. Matching that shapes which interpreter fits.
Because the paperwork is in Portuguese or English, Sena work in Canada is interpreting-led, and the community here is small and served largely by phone and video. It helps to confirm which country the speaker is from, since a Mozambican Sena speaker usually has Portuguese as a second language while a Malawian one may use Chichewa or English, and that shapes which interpreter fits.
Our Sena interpreters work in IRB hearings and IRCC interviews, hospital and clinic appointments covered by PHIPA and PIPEDA privacy rules, legal aid and settlement meetings. Interpreting is available in person in Regina and by phone or video for appointments anywhere in Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Regina we assign a Sena 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.
Prism arranges Sena interpreters in Regina for IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews and hospital appointments, matched to whether the speaker is Mozambican or Malawian. This is live spoken support in the room, separate from any translated document.
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, a centre for government, agriculture, energy and finance on Treaty 4 territory and in the homeland of the Metis. Immigration has reshaped the city, with newcomers making up a large share of recent growth. Tagalog and Punjabi are the most common non-official mother tongues, followed by Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, while Cree, Michif and other Indigenous languages remain part of the region.
This diversity creates steady demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan and the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan both sit in Regina, and the Regina General Hospital under the Saskatchewan Health Authority treats patients across many languages. The University of Regina, the Regina Open Door Society and other settlement agencies serving IRCC newcomers, and employers in government, agriculture and energy regularly need accurate translation and interpreting.
The same network covers Sena interpreting in and around Regina, in person where the appointment is local or by phone and video for families further out. Arrangements follow the institution booking the session.
For in-person work in Regina we assign a Sena interpreter who is based in or near the city, and the same Sena linguists cover the surrounding area:
Prism also serves Sena speakers in nearby communities such as White City, Pilot Butte, Emerald Park, Balgonie and Lumsden — on site across the Regina area and by telephone or video anywhere in Canada.
We provide certified Portuguese and English to English translation of birth, marriage and death certificates, identity papers, school records and affidavits for Sena-speaking families. Because Mozambique issues records in Portuguese and Malawi and Zimbabwe in English, the document work runs from those languages rather than from Sena.
Sena is a Bantu language of the lower Zambezi valley, spoken across central Mozambique and into Malawi and Zimbabwe, and it is written in the Latin alphabet. The civil records a Sena-speaking family holds were usually issued by the state in Portuguese in Mozambique or in English in Malawi and Zimbabwe, so the document translation almost always runs from those languages while Sena stays the spoken language of the home.
We translate the records applicants most often present: Portuguese-language birth, marriage and death certificates and identity papers from Mozambique, English-language certificates and school records from Malawi and Zimbabwe, and supporting affidavits. A file can be issued by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit of accuracy. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, the IRB or a provincial registry.
Every certified Sena 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 Regina gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Our Sena translation work is essentially non-existent in normal operations; Mozambican civil documents are usually in Portuguese (the country's official language) and routed accordingly.
Yes. Sena is mainly spoken, and Mozambique issues records in Portuguese, so we translate those into English on the file and arrange Sena interpreting for the spoken parts.
Yes. A Mozambican Sena speaker usually also has Portuguese, while a Malawian one may use Chichewa or English, so tell us the country and we match the interpreter accordingly.
