Ukrainian Interpreters in Nanaimo
Our Ukrainian interpreters cover settlement and IRCC appointments, school enrolment, healthcare intake, and court or legal matters in Nanaimo. Many arrivals prefer to be served in Ukrainian, and for a hearing or medical consent we work in the person's stronger language.
We arrange Ukrainian interpreters for settlement and IRCC appointments, school registration, medical and mental health care, banking and housing, and any court or legal matter. Many arrivals are parents with children or older relatives, so we can send an interpreter who is comfortable with school enrolment and healthcare intake alike.
Some Ukrainians also speak Russian, but many prefer to be served in Ukrainian, and for hearings or medical consent it is safer to work in the person's stronger language. Interpreting is available in Nanaimo on site, and by phone or video across Canada, with the interpreter bound to keep the conversation confidential.
For an in-person assignment in Nanaimo we assign a Ukrainian 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.
Ukrainian Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Nanaimo
Ukrainian interpreters in Nanaimo attend settlement and IRCC appointments, school registration, medical and mental health care, and any court or legal matter. A live interpreter carries a hearing or consent conversation in the person's stronger language.
Nanaimo is the largest city on Vancouver Island's east coast and a main ferry and floatplane gateway between the mainland and the island, with an economy built on shipping, forestry, tourism, health care and education. English is the first language of the large majority of residents, but the Harbour City is becoming more diverse, with a growing number of residents whose mother tongue is not English, including Punjabi, Tagalog, Chinese and Korean speakers settling in the region.
Vancouver Island University is based in Nanaimo, and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital operates under the Island Health authority. The Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Provincial Court of British Columbia both sit in Nanaimo and require interpreters for people who speak little English. Settlement agencies, clinics, courts and local businesses rely on professional translation and interpreting to support residents and immigrants arriving through IRCC.

Ukrainian to English Translation Services in Nanaimo
We provide certified Ukrainian to English translation of internal and foreign passports, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and school certificates, employment and pension records, and medical and vaccination histories. Place and personal names are transliterated to match your passport, following Ukrainian rather than Russian romanisation where it matters to you.
Ukrainian is written in its own Cyrillic alphabet, which differs from Russian in several letters, so a translator has to read the source correctly rather than assume it is Russian. We translate the records families have brought under recent emergency travel measures: internal and foreign passports, birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and school certificates, employment and pension records, and medical and vaccination histories.
Place and personal names are transliterated to match your passport and IRCC paperwork, and we can follow Ukrainian rather than Russian romanisation of city names where that matters to you. Soviet-era or wartime documents sometimes carry unusual stamps or reissued dates, and we note these in the English version.
Each translation is prepared as a certified translation by a qualified translator, or as a sworn affidavit when a body asks for one. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution, such as IRCC, a provincial licensing body, a school board or a Canadian employer.
Every certified Ukrainian 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 Nanaimo gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

About the Ukrainian Language
Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine, with around 40 million speakers. It's a Slavic language written in Cyrillic, distinct from Russian -- sharing vocabulary in places but using its own grammar, idioms, and several distinctive letters. Canada has one of the world's largest Ukrainian diasporas: long-established Prairie communities dating back to the 1890s, plus a wave of recent arrivals in Toronto, Edmonton, and Winnipeg under the CUAET emergency-travel programme since February 2022. We routinely translate Ukrainian passports, birth certificates, marriage records, military exemption documents, and educational diplomas for IRCC, provincial licensing bodies, and Canadian universities.
Ukrainian Interpreting in Nanaimo: FAQs
Do you translate Ukrainian rather than treating it as Russian?
Yes. Ukrainian uses its own Cyrillic alphabet and our translators work directly from Ukrainian, matching name transliteration to your passport and IRCC records.
Can you help with documents needed under emergency travel measures?
Yes. We translate passports, civil certificates, diplomas, and medical and employment records that families commonly submit; acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
What if the person also speaks some Russian?
For consent, hearings and medical care we recommend working in the stronger language, and you can request a Ukrainian interpreter for the whole appointment.
Do you have an office in Nanaimo?
Ukrainian translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Nanaimo we assign a Ukrainian interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
