Tshiluba interpreting and certified translation in Regina and across Canada, mostly for IRB refugee hearings from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where civil records are issued in French rather than in Tshiluba.
Tshiluba Interpreters in Regina
Tshiluba interpreters in Regina for refugee, medical and settlement settings, matched by first language and distinguished from Lingala, Kikongo and Swahili.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a significant source of refugee claims in Canada, and spoken Tshiluba is where the language matters most. It is one of several main Congolese languages alongside Lingala, Kikongo and Swahili, and a claimant may be strongest in Tshiluba rather than in French, so we confirm the first language at booking instead of assuming French will carry a hearing. In a refugee hearing where a single word can carry weight, interpreting in the speaker's first language reduces the risk of a misread.
Our Tshiluba interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA, and settlement and school meetings. Interpreting is available in person in Regina and by phone or video for appointments anywhere in Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Regina we assign a Tshiluba 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.
Tshiluba Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Regina
Tshiluba interpreters in Regina attend IRB refugee hearings, IRCC interviews and hospital appointments, with the speaker's first language confirmed among the Congo's main languages rather than assumed to be French.
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.

Tshiluba to English Translation Services in Regina
Certified Tshiluba-community translation, usually from French, covering birth and identity records, school results and court papers, rendered exactly as the source shows.
Tshiluba, also called Luba-Kasai or Ciluba, is a Bantu language of the Kasai region and one of the four national languages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is written in the Latin alphabet, though as a national rather than an administrative language it appears far less often on official paperwork than French.
That is the practical point for documents. Civil administration in the Democratic Republic of the Congo runs in French, so a Tshiluba speaker's birth certificate, voter or identity card, school record and court papers are almost always in French. A request framed as Tshiluba translation is therefore usually a certified French to English translation for an IRB claim or IRCC file, which a certified translator can provide or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths can support. We render exactly what the record shows, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Tshiluba 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 Tshiluba Language
Tshiluba (Luba-Kasai) is a Bantu language spoken by around 6 million people in the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it's one of the four national languages. The Tshiluba-speaking community in Canada is small, tied to Congolese refugee and immigrant populations in Montreal, Ottawa-Gatineau, and Toronto -- many arriving through francophone immigration streams. Our Tshiluba translation work is occasional and typically tied to IRB refugee claims, alongside the church and community-association documents tied to Congolese diaspora networks.
Tshiluba Interpreting in Regina: FAQs
My documents are in French, not Tshiluba. Is that a problem?
No. The Democratic Republic of the Congo issues civil records in French, so Tshiluba speakers rarely hold documents in their own language. We provide a certified French to English translation, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Is Tshiluba the same as Lingala or Swahili?
No. Tshiluba, or Luba-Kasai, is a distinct Congolese language from the Kasai region. Lingala and Swahili are separate languages used elsewhere in the country. We confirm a speaker's first language at booking so the right interpreter attends.
Do you have an office in Regina?
Tshiluba 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 Tshiluba interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
