Need a Wallisian interpreter in Burnaby? Prism Linguistics arranges professional Wallisian interpreters for court and tribunal hearings, hospital and clinic appointments, IRCC interviews and police or community meetings, on site in Burnaby or by telephone and video, with a fixed quote before you book.
Wallisian interpreting for Burnaby is almost always by phone or video, with Wallisian confirmed rather than Futunan or Tongan before a Wallisian interpreter is assigned.
Wallisian is close to Futunan, the language of the neighbouring island, and both differ from Tongan despite the family resemblance, so we confirm at booking that Wallisian and not Futunan or Tongan is the language needed. We also confirm the client's preferred language and the interpreting requirements before arranging anything, so the Wallisian interpreter assigned fits the appointment.
Wallisian interpreting is almost always arranged by phone or video, for an IRCC interview, a medical appointment under PHIPA and PIPEDA or a settlement matter. In-person attendance in Burnaby would depend on locating a Wallisian interpreter, which we confirm for each date.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Wallisian interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. Courts, law firms, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private clients book us directly.

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.

Wallisian (Faka'uvea) is a Polynesian language spoken by around 8,000 people on the Wallis Islands -- part of the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna in the South Pacific. Wallisian speakers in Canada are served through our national interpreter network. Our Wallisian translation work is rare, since documents from Wallis and Futuna are typically issued in French and are translated from French.
We check that Wallisian, and not Futunan or Tongan, is the language needed, and confirm the speaker's preference and the setting before assigning a Wallisian interpreter.
We confirm availability for each date rather than promise in advance. Where a Wallisian interpreter is available the session is usually by phone or video.
