What is an Apostille Certificate?

When documents are notarized in Canada for use abroad, such documents must often go through a process of "authentication" and "legalization" in order to be valid in the foreign jurisdiction. The combined process of "authentication" and "legalization" is the Canadian equivalent of "apostille certificates" issued in other countries that are signatories to The Hague Convention.
