How old do ii havee to be to be a court interpreter in Canada?

Well my dad just came up to me and asked me if I was willing to help out a family and I said in what way? And he asked me if I would help them by being a court interpreter to translate everything the person accused is saying.

I’m 16 in 4 months and my dad is going to be beside me at all times.

I was wondering if I’m old enough because I’m the only one that speaks fluent Czech and English.

I live in Hamilton, Ontario. Canada.

Thank you!

Answer #1

it should be legal if your dad is going to be with you and you have his permission or whatever good luck

Answer #2

How do you speak Czech, but your family doesn’t? I think you are old enough especially if your Dad will be with you. Knowing a second language is a valuable skill to have, my brother-in-law is moving to China to teach English.

Answer #3

I said, ‘ I’m the only one that speaks fluent Czech and English ‘; meaning my dad doesn’t speak fluent English, therefore he cannot be the interpreter, but thank you very much to all!
