Tama Interpreters in Victoria

Tama interpreting in Victoria 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 Victoria where a Tama interpreter is available locally.

For an in-person assignment in Victoria 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 Victoria

Tama interpreters in Victoria 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.

Victoria is the capital of British Columbia, located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, and combines provincial government, tourism, education, technology and a busy harbour. English is the first language of the large majority of residents, but the city and surrounding region host established Chinese, Punjabi, Tagalog and French speaking communities, and the presence of government and universities draws students and workers from around the world. Victoria is also home to Canada's oldest Chinatown.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Provincial Court of British Columbia both sit in Victoria and require interpreters for people who speak little English. The University of Victoria, Camosun College and Royal Roads University anchor post-secondary education, while Island Health delivers care across the region. Settlement agencies, hospitals, courts and businesses all rely on professional translation and interpreting to serve residents and newcomers arriving through IRCC.

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.
