Ontario, Québec, British Columbia: 40 institutions and counting.

Every service shares the same roster of certified interpreters, the same 300-language coverage, and the same data-residency posture. Choose the format that fits the moment; the interpreter is already on the other side.
Face-to-face interpretation with the reach of remote. Purpose-built for healthcare, legal, and emergency services where non-verbal cues matter.
Dial a number, enter your PIN, and a certified interpreter joins the call. No app, no forms, from any phone.
Certified interpreters on the line in under ten seconds, 24/7, across more than three hundred languages.

Comprehensive linguistic support for assemblies, hearings, and summits with audiences you cannot afford to lose.

What teams usually ask first.
Where is our data hosted?
All application data, including submissions, session metadata, and media, lives in AWS Canada Central (Montréal), a full Canadian-soil region. Static marketing assets are delivered via a global CDN for speed; no user data traverses the edge.
How fast will an interpreter join a call?
On-demand interpretation targets a sub-ten-second connection for the most-requested languages (French, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Punjabi, Urdu, Tagalog). Rare languages are book-ahead; we quote a firm wait time when you schedule.
Which quality standards do you meet?
ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 17100:2015 for translation services. Certificates and supporting documentation are available under NDA to qualified prospects.
Do you support Indigenous languages?
Yes. Through our partnership with First Nations Translations, we offer more than twenty-one Indigenous Canadian languages, including Cree, Inuktitut, Ojibwe, Mohawk, and Mi’kmaq, alongside our 300+ global roster.
Do you meet HIPAA and Canadian privacy requirements?
Our workflows are designed for Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA and provincial health-information regimes such as Ontario’s PHIPA, with data hosted in Canada. For engagements with U.S. touchpoints we are HIPAA-ready, and Business Associate Agreements are available.
Do you provide sign language or on-site interpretation?
Both. ASL and LSQ interpretation is available over video or in person, with coordination for Indigenous sign languages on request. On-site interpreters can be scheduled for clinical, legal, and community settings.
