Until January 2024, Canadian documents were required to undergo validation by provincial authorities and legalization at the Embassy or Consulate of France, due to Canada's non-participation in the Hague Convention. However, with Canada's recent membership in the Apostille Convention in January 2024, this process has been significantly simplified. Given that France is an active participant in the convention, apostille certification is no longer necessary. Globeia, a well-known provider of apostille services in Canada, handles all inquiries and offers competitive rates to streamline the immigration process to France through its secure online platform.

Obtaining an apostille is crucial for many reasons in France, such as employment, residency applications, student permits, and various visa categories. Apostille seals provide undeniable authenticity to important documents, ensuring their legal recognition by foreign authorities. Globeia helps individuals with the apostille process according to the Apostille Hague Convention, allowing them to submit their apostilled documents to the relevant authorities in France. This streamlined process removes the need for extra international authentication stamps, making it easier to present apostilled documents to the right authorities. Rest assured, Globeia is here to assist you through the apostille process with confidence and ease.
