Tatar covers the Volga, or Kazan, Tatar of Russia and the separate Crimean Tatar language; Russia issues records in Russian, so document work often runs from Russian, while interpreting turns on which Tatar a speaker uses, in Longueuil and across Canada.
Tatar translation in Longueuil usually means Russian to English translation of the records Russia actually issues, since Volga Tatar speakers hold Russian civil documents, with names matched across Cyrillic and the passport. We ask whether Kazan or Crimean Tatar is meant.
Longueuil sits on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River across from Montreal and anchors a large urban agglomeration of more than 430,000 people in the Monteregie region. French is the mother tongue of nearly three-quarters of residents, while a growing number of immigrant households add further linguistic variety. Its close ties to the Montreal metropolitan economy and local public services generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in immigration, legal, medical and business contexts.
The Charter of the French Language and Bill 96, overseen by the Office quebecois de la langue francaise, require that many official and commercial documents be available in French, so certified French translation is frequently needed for diplomas, contracts and civil records. Newcomers filing applications with IRCC, students at the Universite de Sherbrooke's Longueuil campus, and parties appearing before the Superior Court of Quebec and the Court of Quebec in the judicial district serving Longueuil often need dependable translated documents and qualified interpreters.
We provide certified translation into English of the Russian, or where relevant Ukrainian, civil records behind a Tatar speaker's file, and translate the Tatar that appears in regional, religious and cultural material.
Tatar is a Turkic language, and the name covers more than one thing. Volga, or Kazan, Tatar is the language of Tatarstan in Russia and is today written in the Cyrillic alphabet, having earlier used an Arabic script and then a Latin one. Crimean Tatar is a separate Turkic language of the Crimean Peninsula and its diaspora in Uzbekistan and Turkey, and it is not simply a dialect of Kazan Tatar. Both are relevant to Canadian files, and we ask which is meant.
Because Volga Tatar speakers are citizens of Russia, their birth, marriage and identity records are issued in Russian, so the document work is usually Russian to English translation, with Tatar appearing on paper only in some regional, religious or cultural material. Crimean Tatar speakers may hold Russian or Ukrainian records depending on their history, and we translate whichever the file contains, setting out names consistently across the Cyrillic and passport spellings.
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 Tatar 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 Longueuil gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Our Tatar interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews and medical appointments in Longueuil, matched to Kazan or Crimean Tatar specifically rather than a general Turkic speaker.
For interpreting the key question is which Tatar. A Kazan Tatar speaker and a Crimean Tatar speaker will not reliably follow one another, so we confirm at intake before assigning an interpreter for an IRB hearing, an IRCC interview or a medical appointment. Many Volga Tatar speakers are also fluent in Russian, and many Crimean Tatar speakers in Russian or Turkish, but a speaker may prefer to testify in the mother tongue.
Interpreting is available in Longueuil on site, and by phone or video across Canada. Both communities are small here, so remote sessions are common and let us reach a speaker of the right Tatar rather than the nearest Turkic speaker.
For an in-person assignment in Longueuil we assign a Tatar 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.

Tatar is a Turkic language spoken by around 5 million people, primarily in the Russian republic of Tatarstan (around Kazan) and a substantial diaspora across the former Soviet Union, Turkey, China, and elsewhere. Tatar is written in Cyrillic in Russia, with various Latin and Arabic alternatives historically used. The Tatar-speaking community in Canada is small. Our Tatar translation work is occasional and typically tied to Russian Federation civil documents or academic transcripts submitted to IRCC or Canadian credential evaluators.

No. They are separate Turkic languages, and speakers do not reliably understand each other. We ask which you mean so we assign the right translator or interpreter.
Usually not. Russia issues civil records in Russian, so we translate those into English. Tatar is translated where it appears in regional, religious or cultural material.
