Shikomoro Interpreters in Burnaby

Shikomoro interpreters in Burnaby for refugee, medical and settlement settings, with the island variety confirmed at booking.

For spoken interpreting the variety matters, because the four Comorian varieties differ island to island and are not always fully mutually intelligible, so we ask which island a speaker is from at booking, whether Ngazidja, Mwali, Nzwani or Mayotte. Before a hearing we confirm which language the client prefers and what the session needs, so the appropriate Shikomoro interpreter is in place throughout.

Our Shikomoro interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, and settlement meetings. Sessions run by phone or video across Canada, with in-person attendance in Burnaby where a matching interpreter is available.

For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Shikomoro 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.

Shikomoro Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby

Shikomoro interpreters in Burnaby attend IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and hospital appointments, matched to the speaker's island variety among Shingazidja, Shimwali, Shinzwani and Shimaore.

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.

About the Shikomoro Language

Shikomoro (Comorian) is a group of related Bantu languages spoken by around 800,000 people in the Comoros Islands and Mayotte. The major varieties include Shingazija (Grande Comore), Shimwali (Moheli), Shindzwani (Anjouan), and Shimaore (Mayotte). Speakers in Canada are served through our national interpreter network; documents from the Comoros are typically in French (the country's main administrative language) and routed accordingly.

Shikomoro Interpreting in Burnaby: FAQs

Which Comorian variety should I mention?

Tell us the island. Shingazidja, Shimwali, Shinzwani and Shimaore differ and are not always fully mutually intelligible, so knowing whether a speaker is from Ngazidja, Mwali, Nzwani or Mayotte lets us match the interpreter, which matters most in an IRB hearing.
