Interpretation.

We offer professional interpreting services in a wide range of industries.  Our interpreters help to overcome language barriers by listening to a speaker in one language, grasping the content of what is being said, and then paraphrasing his or her understanding of the meaning in the target language.  Our services include consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation.  Clients often come to us for certified or accredited interpreters for court hearings and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) interviews.

Consecutive Interpretation Service

This is the method of communicating a message from one language to another in segments. The original speaker pauses between sentences or thoughts and allows time for the interpreter to deliver the message in the target language. Consecutive interpreting is best suited for situations involving a small number of people or one-on-one conversations.

We often provide consecutive interpretations for the following:

  • Interviews

  • Business training

  • One-on-one or small meetings

  • Medical appointments

  • Client-attorney meetings

  • Parent-teacher meetings

  • Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) interviews

Simultaneous Interpretation Service

This method is also known as conference interpreting. The interpretation is transmitted to listeners in real time while the original speech is still in progress. Simultaneous interpreting is primarily used in formal or large group settings, where a speaker is speaking in front of an audience. Simultaneous interpreting is very complex and demanding, and therefore a minimum of two interpreters is required for interpreting time over 30 minutes.

We often provide simultaneous interpretation service for the following:

  • Tours

  • Lectures

  • Workshops

  • Conferences

  • Conventions

  • Focus groups

  • Presentations

  • Business or board meetings

Court Interpretation

Our accredited / certified interpreters are often requested for court / legal purposes. This includes examinations for discovery / questioning and trials.

Remote VS On-Site Interpretation

The difference between remote and on-site interpretation is that with the former, the interpreter is with you on site, whereas with the latter, interpretation is delivered with the use of communication technology (I.E. video conferencing or telephone). Not surprisingly, there has been a surge in remote interpretation ever since the lockdown resulting from the COVID-19 crisis.
