Good Afternoon

My father is 51 years old,since he came to Canada he started to work as truck driver traveling from canada to US. When he applied for citizenship he didn't have enough days staying in Canada so it took over 5 years for citizenship office to schedule the test for him. He went two times to do the test and he failed both the times.He has extremely bad English and now he got scheduled for oral test and interview.

My question is can he bring an interpreter with him to the oral test and if yes do you know anyone or a company that does this kind of translation?

See the information here:

Your father can bring a translator but must still demonstrate a working knowledge of either English or French to pass the oral test.
