Translation Bureau - Letter of Interest

The Translation Bureau is the federal organization responsible for supporting the Government of Canada in its efforts to communicate with and provide services for Canadians in the official language of their choice.
Supported by a cross-country network, our language professionals offer quality services in Canada’s official languages as well as in over 100 Aboriginal and foreign languages.
