Interpretation Services
Whether you require interpretation assistance for school, medical, legal or social worker visits and appointments–or for other circumstances–ICA offers interpretation in-person or by phone.
How it works:
- Let us know the details, including what language, date, time, duration and location you need an interpreter for, along with information relating to the appointment or meeting
- Our Interpretation/Translation Administrative Assistant will assess the details and provide you with an estimate cost
- From there, a form (contract) is completed, signed and returned to ICA and the appointment is confirmed
Please note that a deposit for the first hour will be required, as well as a “completion of services” form at the end of each session. You will receive an invoice upon the completion of services and payment will be due.
*We accept VISA, MasterCard, debit and cash (no AMEX, Discover or cheques)

How it works:
- Bring your original document/s to ICA.
- Reception will provide you with the fee structure and estimated timeline for the translation.
