You will need to apostille your Canadian identity documents if you wish to register your marriage in the U.S. The process is pretty straightforward if you have prior experience with following the required steps of preparing and submitting your documents to the designated apostille authority that receives requests from your province.

We ensure that your Canadian birth certificate, marriage certificate, and other associated documents are verified under the Apostille Convention regulations so that you can submit them to your State’s office in the U.S.

Moving to the U.S.

United States is the preferred choice for Canadians when it comes to travel, work, and education. It goes without saying that the U.S. provides a diverse range of options and attractions for Canadians, from world-class cities to stunning natural environments.

Man Canadians are attracted to the competitive work culture, ever-growing job market, and educational opportunities that the United States offers. Canada and the United States shared borders, similarities in culture, and the languages spoken make the move an easy and comfortable option for Canadians. This is why the United States remains the top destination for Canadians seeking new opportunities and experiences, whether it be for business, educational, or recreational purposes.

The United States is also considered as one of the best countries for business and investment due to its stable economy, strong rule of law, and favorable business environment. The U.S. government’s EB-5 Immigrant investor visa program provides a lucrative way for migration, requiring a minimum investment of $1,800,000 in a U.S. firm. You will need to get your financial and business documents apostilled as one of the first steps when using this pathway to permanent residence.

Preparing Your Documents For Education and Jobs in the United States

Are you thinking of moving from Canada to the United States for work? Whether it's a job transfer or a new position, the U.S. has one of the world’s top economies with a wide range of professional opportunities in all business sectors. However, you will need to prepare your documents first, before they can be used in the U.S.

The requirement for getting an apostille on your document still stands if you are considering American schools or universities for your education. Although Canada boasts some of the top-tier educational institutes, many choose the U.S. for its diverse academic landscape.

Getting an apostille on educational documents is important for Canadian students planning to pursue higher education in the United States. The Canadian apostille process authenticates the origin of your documents, such as transcripts, diplomas, and other educational records, by verifying the signature and seal of the issuing authority.

Globeia’s apostille service helps you submit your Canadian documents to any of the colleges and universities in the United States, making the application and enrollment process more streamlined and efficient.

What is the Canadian equivalent of apostille?

The apostille process is currently in use in Canada as a result of its membership in the Hague Convention. Previously, the two-step "authentication and legalization" was used in Canada, which included authentication by Global Affairs Canada and legalization by the United States embassy in Canada.

Who can authenticate documents in Canada?

In Canada, the appropriate provincial or territory body can authenticate documents. Global Affairs Canada manages the apostille requests in addition to provincial authentication. Check specific province requirements and proceed as necessary.

Why is Canada not a signatory to the Apostille Convention?

On January 11, 2024, Canada joined the Hague Convention, allowing it to issue apostilles on documents. Canada's authentication and legalization procedures existed before this, which is one of the reasons it was not a signatory to the Apostille Convention. The procedure of international document authentication for Canadian documents is made simpler by membership in the Hague Convention.

Is an apostille required for the USA?

Apostilles are necessary for some documents, such as RCMP criminal record checks provided by Canadian national police. Apostilles are also necessary for federal documents, such as birth certificates, business licenses, and marriage certificates, to be recognized internationally. Apostille expedites the validation process for use overseas.

Which countries require apostille documents?

Apostilles are required for documents destined for countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention. However, specific regulations differ from country to country, and some may need the use of traditional legalizing procedures. The right validation technique for using international documents is ensured by looking at the specific criteria of the intended country.

Is the apostille done on original documents?

Yes, original documents are typically granted apostilles. The apostille is affixed to the original document once its validity has been confirmed as part of the authentication procedure.

Can I do an apostille online?

Forms and documentation can be completed online, which is one of the first stages towards getting an apostille. You will need to mail your original documents to the designated provincial authority or Global Affairs Canada. It is important that you first confirm the issuing authority's specific requirements.
