Prism Linguistics provides certified Sindhi translation and interpreting across Canada, for IRCC permanent residence and study files, civil records, and family and medical appointments. Sindhi is written in two different scripts depending on where a record comes from: an extended Perso-Arabic alphabet read right to left in Pakistan, and often Devanagari or the Arabic script in India. The community in Canada includes both Muslim Sindhi families from Pakistan and Hindu Sindhi families with roots in India, spread across the larger urban centres.

Sindhi is spoken by Muslim communities from the Pakistani province and by Hindu Sindhi families whose roots are in India, and vocabulary and everyday phrasing can differ between them, so at booking we ask about the speaker's background and match the interpreter. Many speakers also use Urdu, Hindi or English, and we confirm which language the speaker gives evidence in most comfortably.
Interpreters attend IRCC and IRB interviews, Canadian court matters, and hospital or clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, in person where one is available and by telephone or video anywhere in the country.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
A certified translator first confirms which script a document uses and transliterates names carefully, since a passport spelling and a certificate spelling can differ. Documents commonly include birth, marriage and death certificates, the national identity card, the family registration certificate, education records such as matriculation and degree certificates, and police clearance records.
Right-to-left text and pages that mix Sindhi with English call for careful formatting, so the translation is set out beside the original and seals and handwriting are noted rather than guessed at.
For IRCC applications and provincial registrations these are filed with a certified translation, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a Canadian body asks for one, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Sindhi translation, our full Sindhi translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Sindhi is the language of Pakistan's Sindh province and the Indian diaspora descended from Sindh, with around 30 million speakers total. After partition in 1947, a substantial Sindhi-Hindu community resettled in India - particularly in Mumbai, Gujarat, and Rajasthan - and from there many emigrated onward, with Canadian concentrations now in the Toronto area, particularly Mississauga and Brampton. Sindhi is written in Perso-Arabic script in Pakistan and Devanagari script in India, so source-document origin determines the translator. Our Sindhi translation work is mostly IRCC civil documents, family-court paperwork, and community-association documents.
