Sign Language Interpreting in Canada — ASL & LSQ

Prism Linguistics arranges qualified sign language interpreters across Canada in American Sign Language (ASL) and Langue des signes quebecoise (LSQ), the two sign languages used by Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities in Canada. Interpreters are booked for on-site assignments and for video remote interpreting (VRI) when an interpreter is needed quickly or participants are in different locations.

Where sign language interpreting is used

• Healthcare — hospital appointments, consultations and mental-health sessions, handled under PIPEDA/PHIPA confidentiality.
• Legal and government — court hearings, tribunals, IRB hearings, police interviews and Service Canada appointments.
• Education — classes, exams, parent–teacher meetings and campus services.
• Employment — interviews, training, HR meetings and workplace accommodation under provincial accessibility law.
• Events and business — conferences, town halls and public presentations.

Qualified, accountable interpreters

Assignments are matched to interpreters with the right credentials and subject experience across community, medical and legal settings. For LSQ requirements in Quebec and francophone communities, we assign LSQ-qualified interpreters rather than substituting ASL.

Give us the date, location, expected duration and nature of the meeting and we will confirm availability. On-site coverage is arranged across major centres and surrounding areas; VRI is available Canada-wide, including urgent same-day requests through our 24/7 scheduling desk.
