Canadian documents needing legalization for use in South Africa may be processed at the High Commission of South Africa in Ottawa. Documents must first be authenticated at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Development Canada (DFATD). At present there are no consular fees at the High Commission for this service.
Please note that the both the High Commission and the Consulate General in Toronto will be closed on December 16th 2013 for the South African public holiday.
