APLI (Association of Professional Language Interpreters) is a federally registered organization for all qualified and trained interpreters in Canada. APLI is dedicated to improving the profession for all language interpreters, creating a shared environment to support and minimize work-related issues, and enabling users and service providers to quickly identify suitable interpreters to meet their service needs.

Canada is a multicultural country and the demand for interpreters has increased immensely over the past several decades. Interpretation has grown to be a high-demand profession which plays a prominent role in our society.

At APLI, we work hard to support all interpreters by being the voice of our members.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to provide a home and family-based environment for all trained and professional interpreters, support their working conditions, and provide sufficient information so that they can work in a mutually respectful and professional industry.

Our Vision:

In the future, we see a horizon where the profession of interpretation becomes regulated through the activities of this association of interpreters and the result would benefit the interpreters and other stakeholders of this industry. We strive to protect the interests of professionalism of interpretation in Canada.
