Waray interpreting and Philippine-document support in Regina and across Canada, where PSA civil records are issued in English and the spoken-language need is interpreting-led.
Waray Translators in Regina
Prism arranges Waray interpreting and certified document support in Regina, telling you plainly where a PSA record is already in English and translating any Waray passages that appear.
Regina is Saskatchewan's capital, a centre for government, agriculture, energy and finance on Treaty 4 territory and in the homeland of the Metis. Immigration has reshaped the city, with newcomers making up a large share of recent growth. Tagalog and Punjabi are the most common non-official mother tongues, followed by Arabic, Hindi and Spanish, while Cree, Michif and other Indigenous languages remain part of the region.
This diversity creates steady demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan and the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan both sit in Regina, and the Regina General Hospital under the Saskatchewan Health Authority treats patients across many languages. The University of Regina, the Regina Open Door Society and other settlement agencies serving IRCC newcomers, and employers in government, agriculture and energy regularly need accurate translation and interpreting.
Waray to English Translation Services in Regina
Certified Waray to English translation of school and qualification records, barangay and civil-status certifications and sworn statements, with a sworn affidavit where a record is incomplete.
Waray, also called Waray-Waray or Samar-Leyte, is an Austronesian language of the Eastern Visayas in the Philippines, written in the Latin alphabet. The Philippine Statistics Authority issues birth, marriage and death certificates in English, so a PSA civil record usually needs no translation from Waray; the work is more often confirming and formatting the English record, or translating a Waray passage in a letter, an affidavit, a barangay document or a personal statement.
Where genuine Waray text is involved, a certified translator renders it into English and keeps names consistent. Documents that arise include school and qualification records, barangay and civil-status certifications, and sworn statements, prepared for IRCC applications and family sponsorship, provincial registrations and credential assessment. Output carries a signed declaration, or a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a record is incomplete, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Every certified Waray 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 Regina gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Waray Interpreters in Regina
Waray interpreters in Regina for interviews, hearings and medical appointments, confirming the actual language rather than defaulting to Filipino, on site where available and otherwise by phone or video.
The spoken need is where Waray work usually falls, within a large and well-established Filipino community in Canada. Waray is distinct from Tagalog (Filipino) and from Cebuano, and a Tagalog interpreter does not automatically serve a Waray speaker, so we confirm the actual language rather than defaulting to Filipino. Many speakers also use English or Tagalog, and we note the preference.
Interpreters attend IRCC and IRB interviews, hospitals and clinics under PHIPA and PIPEDA, courts, and school and settlement meetings, including support for caregivers and healthcare workers. Interpreting is arranged on site where a matched interpreter is available and otherwise by phone or video, with consecutive interpreting used so each statement is rendered in full.
For an in-person assignment in Regina we assign a Waray 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.

About the Waray Language
Waray (Waray-Waray) is a Philippine Visayan language spoken by around 3.5 million people in Eastern Visayas -- primarily Samar and Leyte islands. The Waray-speaking community in Canada is part of the broader Filipino-Canadian population in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver. Our Waray translation work is mostly IRCC civil documents from Eastern Visayan sources, alongside academic transcripts and family-sponsorship paperwork. Waray uses the Latin alphabet.
Waray Translation in Regina: FAQs
My PSA certificate is in English. Do I need a Waray translation?
Usually not. The PSA issues civil records in English, so we tell you plainly when no translation is needed and handle any Waray passages that appear.
Is Waray the same as Tagalog or Cebuano?
No. Waray is a distinct language of the Eastern Visayas, so a Tagalog or Cebuano interpreter is not a substitute; we confirm the actual language first.
Can you translate barangay or sworn statements in Waray?
Yes. We translate Waray barangay documents and statements into English, with a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths where a record is incomplete.
Do you have an office in Regina?
Waray translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Regina we assign a Waray interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
