Need a Wenzhou interpreter in Burnaby? Prism Linguistics arranges professional Wenzhou 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.
Wenzhou Interpreters in Burnaby
Our Wenzhounese interpreting covers IRCC, medical, legal and business settings in Burnaby, with a genuine Wenzhou interpreter matched to the speaker's variety and delivered on site or by phone and video.
The reason to book Wenzhounese specifically is spoken interpreting. A Mandarin interpreter often cannot understand Wenzhounese, and even neighbouring Wu speech differs sharply, so we match a genuine Wenzhou interpreter rather than assume a Mandarin one will do. At booking we confirm that Wenzhounese is the language the client prefers and what the appointment requires, so the right Wenzhou interpreter is assigned.
Our interpreters attend IRCC interviews, legal and business matters, and hospital and clinic appointments under PHIPA and PIPEDA. Interpreters attend on site in Burnaby where one is near, or join by phone and video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Burnaby we assign a Wenzhou 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.
Wenzhou Court, Medical and IRCC Interpreters in Burnaby
Wenzhounese interpreters in Burnaby attend IRCC interviews, legal, business and clinic appointments, matched as genuine Wenzhou speakers, since a Mandarin interpreter often cannot follow the Wenzhou variety.
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.

About the Wenzhou Language
Wenzhou is a Wu Chinese variety spoken by around 5 million people in Wenzhou and surrounding parts of southeastern Zhejiang province. It's famously difficult for other Chinese speakers to understand -- sometimes called "devil's language" in popular Chinese discourse. Speakers in Canada are served on site in the larger centres and through our national interpreter network. Our Wenzhou translation work overlaps with general Chinese -- civil documents are usually in written Mandarin.
