Tama Interpreters in Burnaby
Tama interpreting in Burnaby for refugee hearings and interviews, usually by phone or video, with the claimant's preferred language and interpreting requirements confirmed at booking.
Tama work in Canada is mainly interpreting for refugee determination, and because the language is oral, matching a genuine Tama speaker matters more than any paperwork. Tama is a distinct Nilo-Saharan language, not a variety of Arabic, so at booking we confirm the claimant's preferred language and the interpreting requirements and assign a Tama interpreter rather than treat the two as interchangeable.
Interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews and, where needed, medical appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA. Sessions usually run by phone or video, with in-person attendance in Burnaby where a Tama interpreter is available locally.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Tama 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.
Tama Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby
Tama interpreters in Burnaby for IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, matched to a genuine speaker of the language, with the claimant's preferred language and the hearing requirements confirmed in advance.
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 Tama Language
Tama is a Nilo-Saharan language spoken by around 80,000 people in eastern Chad and western Sudan (Darfur). It is mainly an oral language, and civil records from the region are issued in Arabic or French. Our Tama translation work is typically tied to IRB refugee claims and IRCC asylum-related paperwork, with Tama itself needed most often for interpreting.
