WHO CAN PROVIDE AN APOSTILLE CERTIFICATE OR AUTHENTICATE DOCUMENTS IN CANADA?

Apostille
Obtaining an apostille is a process of authenticating documents in countries that are a part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Canada recently became a part of the Hague Apostille Convention, effective January 11, 2024. This move streamlines document authentication procedures and fosters international collaboration, simplifying the recognition of documents across borders for the benefit of individuals, businesses, and organizations.

Authentication and Legalization
The second method is authentication and legalization, where a document is first authenticated by the Canadian government authority, and is then legalized by the consulate or embassy of the country where it will be submitted. To clarify, any Canadian document intended for use in a non-Hague Apostille country, whether for personal or business purposes, must undergo Authentication and Legalization to ensure its legal validity for use in that particular country.
