Uyghur interpreting and certified translation in Burnaby and across Canada, often for refugee and asylum matters, IRCC files and medical visits, handled with care for confidentiality.
Certified Uyghur translation in Burnaby for refugee, asylum and IRCC files, working from the Uyghur Arabic script and from the Chinese-language hukou, identity cards and notarial records that Xinjiang issues, handled confidentially and rendered as it stands.
Burnaby lies immediately east of Vancouver and is British Columbia's third largest city, home to major shopping, film production and technology employers around Metrotown and the Brentwood and Lougheed town centres. It is highly multilingual: English is the mother tongue of about 41 per cent of residents, while more than half report another first language, and the Chinese community, including Mandarin and Cantonese speakers, is the single largest group, alongside Korean, Tagalog and Punjabi speakers.
Simon Fraser University sits atop Burnaby Mountain and the British Columbia Institute of Technology is also based here, drawing international students and faculty. Burnaby Hospital operates under the Fraser Health authority, and the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia serve the area. Together these institutions, along with settlement agencies and local businesses, generate ongoing demand for translation and interpreting in the community's many languages.
Certified Uyghur and Chinese to English translation of civil records, household registration, identity cards and education certificates, issued by a certified translator or with a sworn affidavit where a Canadian body requests one.
Uyghur is a Turkic language of the Xinjiang region of China, and its standard script is the Uyghur Arabic alphabet, read right to left, though Latin and Cyrillic forms are also seen. Official civil records from China are frequently issued in Chinese rather than in Uyghur, so a certified translation may work from the hukou, identity cards or notarial certificates in Chinese as well as from any Uyghur-language document.
Documents commonly include birth, marriage and death records, the household registration, national identity cards, education certificates, and refugee or asylum papers. Given the sensitivity of many of these files, we handle them confidentially, and each translation can be issued by a certified translator or accompanied by a sworn affidavit where a Canadian body asks for one, with acceptance ultimately depending on the receiving institution.
Every certified Uyghur 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 Burnaby gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Uyghur interpreters in Burnaby for hearings, interviews and appointments, matched to central or southern speech, with confidentiality confirmed for sensitive asylum matters.
Uyghur has regional varieties, including a central form treated as standard and the southern speech of the Hotan and Kashgar areas, so at booking we ask where the speaker is from and match the interpreter, and we keep Uyghur clearly apart from Chinese, which some claimants may not speak. Because many matters involve asylum and family safety, we take confidentiality seriously and confirm the interpreter is trusted for a sensitive hearing.
Interpreters attend IRB refugee hearings and IRCC interviews, Canadian court matters, and hospital or clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA. Sessions run in person in Burnaby and by phone or video for appointments anywhere in Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Uyghur 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.
Uyghur is a Turkic language spoken by around 10-15 million people, primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of northwestern China, plus diaspora communities in Central Asia, Turkey, and a growing presence in Canada. The Uyghur-Canadian community is small but active, concentrated mainly in Toronto and Montreal, with growth since the 2017 Chinese government crackdown on Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Our Uyghur translation work is mostly IRB refugee-hearing and IRCC family-reunification paperwork. Uyghur is traditionally written in a Perso-Arabic script.
