Is an apostille enough for all Canadian documents?

Document Verification

Documents intended for use outside Canada must be verified as a simple notary certification is not enough.

Apostille Convention

Countries that have signed the apostille convention accept apostilled documents.

Non-Hague Countries

Countries that have not yet acceded to the Apostille convention required Embassy Legalization.

Canadian Authentication

Global Affairs Canada and provincial authorities provide authentication services depending on where the document was issued notarized.

Legalization

For embassy legalization, visit the destination country’s Embassy or Consulate in Canada.
