Calgary Catholic Immigration Society

Be understood — in any language.

CCIS provides professional interpretation and translation services in more than 50 languages. We help private, public, and non-profit organizations communicate clearly with immigrants, refugees, and people with limited English proficiency.

What we do

Our interpreters and translators deliver accurate, reliable services with cultural understanding and care.

We take the time to understand your situation, your goals, and the needs of the person you are supporting. We carefully match interpreters based on language, cultural context, and experience whenever possible, helping create clear communication and more positive service experiences.

We believe everyone should be able to access services in the language they understand best.

"We are committed to accurate, effective interpretation that upholds the ethical standards of our profession — and the dignity of every person we serve."
— Our promise to clients and communities
