Prism provides certified Turkish translation and Turkish interpreting in Surrey and across Canada, for IRCC and IRB files, business and legal matters, and medical appointments.
Turkish Interpreters in Surrey
Turkish interpreters work across Surrey in immigration, business, medical and school settings, and for legal or business work we ask for key terms in advance so names and figures stay consistent.
Standard Turkish covers most interpreting, but we check whether a speaker from Turkey actually uses Kurdish as a first language, since a Turkish interpreter will not serve a Kurdish speaker in an IRB hearing. Where Kurdish is the real need we say so up front and match accordingly.
We interpret at IRCC and IRB interviews and hearings, commercial and contract meetings, hospital and clinic visits, and school meetings. Interpreters attend in person in Surrey or join by phone and video across the province, and for legal or business work we ask for key terms in advance so names and figures stay consistent.
For an in-person assignment in Surrey we assign a Turkish 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.
Turkish Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Surrey
Turkish interpreters in Surrey attend IRCC and IRB interviews and hearings, commercial and contract meetings, and medical appointments, with a check on whether a speaker in fact uses Kurdish as a first language.
Surrey is the second largest city in British Columbia and one of the fastest growing in the province, with a young, diverse population spread across town centres such as Whalley, Guildford, Newton and Cloverdale. It is home to one of Canada's largest South Asian communities: about 38 per cent of residents identify as South Asian, and Punjabi is the most widely spoken non-official mother tongue, reported by more than 128,000 people, alongside sizeable Tagalog, Hindi and Chinese speaking populations.
Surrey Memorial Hospital, part of the Fraser Health authority, and the Simon Fraser University Surrey campus serve these multilingual residents, as do numerous settlement agencies helping newcomers arriving through IRCC. The Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia hear matters from the region and often require interpreters, sustaining consistent demand for translation across health care, legal and business settings.

Turkish to English Translation Services in Surrey
We produce certified Turkish to English translation of nufus civil registry extracts, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, and court and notarial papers, with any apostille rendered alongside the record.
Turkish has used a Latin-based alphabet since 1928, with letters such as dotless i and the cedilla forms that a translator has to render exactly, since a single character can change a name. Records come chiefly from Turkey's civil registry system.
Common documents are civil registry extracts (nufus records), birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, and court and notarial papers. Turkey is party to the Apostille Convention, so many records arrive apostilled and the apostille is translated with them. Translations are issued by a certified translator or supported by a sworn affidavit, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Prism is a private agency, not court-appointed. Files are handled under PIPEDA and, for health records, provincial rules such as PHIPA, with source and target copies returned together.
Every certified Turkish 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 Surrey gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada. See certified Turkish translation for the document service in full.

About the Turkish Language
Turkish is the official language of Turkey and Cyprus, with around 80 million native speakers. It's a Turkic language -- not Arabic and not Indo-European -- using a Latin-based alphabet since Ataturk's 1928 reform. The Turkish-Canadian community is concentrated in Toronto and Montreal, with strong representation in healthcare, business, and academia. We handle Turkish translation across three flows: IRCC civil documents, Turkish university transcripts for credential evaluation and study permits, and business contracts tied to Turkish manufacturing and textile exports.
Turkish Interpreting in Surrey: FAQs
Do Turkish documents usually need an apostille?
Turkey is an Apostille Convention country, so records are often apostilled abroad. We translate the apostille together with the document, though acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
What if the person speaks Kurdish, not Turkish?
A Turkish interpreter cannot cover Kurdish. Tell us the actual first language and we match a Kurdish interpreter instead.
Can you translate nufus civil registry records?
Yes. Nufus extracts, birth and marriage certificates and related civil papers are regularly translated for IRCC and legal use.
Do you have an office in Surrey?
Turkish translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Surrey we assign a Turkish interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
