- Siraiki Interpreter in Regina
Saraiki, also spelled Siraiki, is an Indo-Aryan language of southern Punjab in Pakistan, written in a Perso-Arabic script; documents usually come in Urdu, so translation runs from there while interpreting serves speakers less at ease in Urdu, in Regina and across Canada.
Siraiki Interpreters in Regina
Our Saraiki interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and medical appointments in Regina, and we assign a Saraiki speaker rather than a Punjabi one where the distinct language matters.
The distinct Saraiki need is spoken. Many Saraiki speakers also use Urdu, but an older speaker, a woman from a rural background, or a claimant recounting sensitive events may be far clearer in Saraiki, and a generic Urdu interpreter can miss the nuance. We ask at intake whether a speaker prefers Saraiki or Urdu for an IRB hearing, an IRCC interview or a medical appointment.
Interpreting is available in Regina on site, and by phone or video across Canada. Saraiki is close to Punjabi but not the same, so we assign a Saraiki speaker rather than a Punjabi one where the language matters, and confirm the speaker's home region since usage varies across the Saraiki belt.
For an in-person assignment in Regina we assign a Siraiki 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.
Siraiki Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Regina
Saraiki interpreters in Regina attend IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and medical appointments, for speakers, often older or from a rural background, who are clearer in Saraiki than in Urdu.
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.

Siraiki to English Translation Services in Regina
We provide certified Urdu to English translation of the records a Saraiki family holds, such as the birth registration, the nikah nama, the family registration certificate and educational documents, with consistent name spellings.
Saraiki, spelled Siraiki as well, is an Indo-Aryan language of the southern Punjab in Pakistan, spoken around Multan, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan. It is written in a Perso-Arabic script close to the Shahmukhi used for Punjabi, with extra letters for the implosive consonants that are a distinctive feature of the language. Pakistan issues civil records in Urdu and English, however, so a Saraiki speaker's birth, marriage and identity documents, and the computerised national identity card, are almost always in Urdu or English rather than in Saraiki.
That means the document work is usually Urdu to English translation of records such as the birth registration, the nikah nama marriage contract, the family registration certificate and educational documents. We set out names consistently, since a name can be spelled several ways when moved from the Urdu script into English, and we match the spelling on the passport.
Translations are issued as a certified translation by a qualified translator, or as a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed body, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, the IRB or a provincial registry.
Every certified Siraiki 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.

About the Siraiki Language
Siraiki (Saraiki) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by around 26 million people, primarily in southern Punjab and adjacent parts of Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. It's distinct from Punjabi but closely related. The Siraiki-speaking community in Canada is part of the broader Pakistani-Canadian population, particularly in Toronto and Mississauga. Our Siraiki translation work is mostly IRCC civil documents and family-sponsorship paperwork. Siraiki uses a Perso-Arabic script.
Siraiki Interpreting in Regina: FAQs
Are my Pakistani documents in Saraiki?
Usually not. Pakistan issues civil records in Urdu and English, so we translate those into English and match names to your passport. Saraiki is translated where it actually appears in a document.
Is a Punjabi or Urdu interpreter fine for a Saraiki speaker?
Sometimes, but not always. Saraiki is a distinct language, and an older or rural speaker may be far clearer in it than in Urdu. We ask at intake and assign a Saraiki interpreter where the language matters.
Do you have an office in Regina?
Siraiki translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Regina we assign a Siraiki interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
