About Lingomere Vancouver
A certified translation office for British Columbia, with a clear owner for language, coordination and delivery — for IRCC, BC PNP, courts, universities and businesses.
Who we are
Lingomere Vancouver is a certified translation office serving British Columbia and Canada-wide. We support immigrants, businesses, law firms, universities and government-related submissions in Vancouver, Victoria, Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond. We connect translation, review and certification with a clear owner for language, coordination and delivery.
Why we do this work
We founded the office on a simple problem: translated documents are often technically correct but practically unusable. For certified submissions to IRCC, BC PNP, WES, courts and universities, this gap costs time and rework. We close it with documented processes and named responsibility.
What we do
Four disciplines, one accountable delivery.
Document Translation
Contracts, certificates and reports translated accurately for Canadian institutions.
Human Review
A second, subject-matter reviewer checks every translation line by line against the source.
Localization
Data, numbers and layout adapted to the target market — not word-for-word.
Certification
Certified, notarized and apostilled forms prepared for institutional submission.
Who we serve
We serve immigrants, businesses, law firms, universities and private clients across British Columbia. We translate into all major language directions and prepare certified, notarized and apostilled deliveries to the requirements of the receiving institution.
Our values
We translate for the purpose and the recipient of the document — not just for its words. We commit to accuracy and PIPEDA-aligned handling and let technology support judgment without replacing professional review.
Team & responsibility
Quality, coordination and delivery are owned by named roles on our team. Every project has a fixed point of contact, a defined review step before release and a clear owner for communication, accuracy and deadlines.
How we work
Every project follows documented steps — identification, scope confirmation, translation, review, formatting and delivery. We assess and quote larger projects from the actual source, keep the original format and treat files as confidential by default.
