Prism Linguistics provides professional Uzbek interpreters and certified Uzbek translation across Canada, for immigration and refugee files, permanent residence matters, and medical and school appointments. Uzbek is a Turkic language written today in a Latin alphabet, though older records appear in Cyrillic and some in Russian. Speakers here are dispersed across the larger centres.

Uzbek belongs to the Turkic family, plenty of speakers also use Russian, and speech shifts from region to region, so we settle the speaker's strongest language before we assign an interpreter. For family and medical matters some applicants would rather have an interpreter of a given gender, which can be flagged at booking.
Interpreters attend Immigration and Refugee Board hearings and IRCC interviews, Canadian courts, hospitals and clinics under PHIPA and PIPEDA, and school and settlement meetings. Consecutive interpreting is standard for hearings and interviews, where each statement is rendered in full, and sessions run by telephone or video anywhere in Canada and in person in the larger centres. Prism is a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Common settings include legal and court interpreting, medical and hospital interpreting, IRCC and Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) interviews, and police and enforcement work. See all on-site interpreting options or start a free quote.
These days Uzbek is set in a Latin alphabet brought in after 1993, though a good many older certificates came out in Cyrillic and some family papers still carry it, so a certified translator handles both and holds names steady across them. A single document may mix Latin, Cyrillic and Russian wording, so the translator notes which script and language each part uses and transcribes names so a Canadian reviewer can match a person across records.
The documents that arise include birth, marriage and divorce certificates, internal and travel passports, work books recording employment, and school and university records, some issued during the Soviet period in Russian. For immigration and refugee files and provincial registrations these are filed with a certified translation or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
For documents rather than spoken interpreting, see certified Uzbek translation, our full Uzbek translation services, or general document translation. Every translation moves through our TEP workflow — translation, editing and proofreading by separate linguists — with free revisions.

Uzbek is the official language of Uzbekistan and the most widely spoken Turkic language in Central Asia, with around 35 million native speakers. The country has been in a long transition from Cyrillic to Latin script -- formally completed multiple times in policy but still mixed in everyday use -- so source documents may be in either alphabet. The Uzbek-speaking community in Canada is small but growing, concentrated mainly in Toronto and other large cities. Our Uzbek translation work is a balanced mix of IRCC immigration and family-reunification documents, Uzbek academic transcripts for credential evaluation and study permits, and Central Asian business contracts.
Yes. Uzbek shows up in Latin and in Cyrillic, with older records in Russian, and the translator takes each on with a certified translation.
