Yes! We specialize in managing all aspects of the Canadian apostille process for our clients from across Canada and around the world. Note that Canada has now signed the Hague Apostille Convention, so we can issue apostilles.

The first step is to contact us. We’ll discuss your document processing needs, answer your questions, and clearly lay out your options. There is never any pressure or any obligation.

You then send your documents to our office and we handle all aspects of the Canadian apostille process on your behalf. Because we apostille many thousands of documents every year, we’ll avoid the costly pitfalls and mistakes that are common to those who are not familiar with this confusing process. Contact our friendly staff to get started!

The length of time it takes to have the documents apostilled will depend on current processing time of the appropriate apostille office in Canada.

The current (Jan 2024) processing time at Global Affairs Canada is up to 70 business days. Each provincial apostille office has its own timeline as well, ranging from 2 to 15 business days.

We are able to ensure your documents are prepared properly, avoiding significant delays. Phone us toll-free at 1-888-433-1011, or send us an online request and we’ll get right back to you.

There are a few factors that will affect the pricing for the apostille of your documents for Panama, including the number of documents you have, where they were issued, and how quickly you need them processed.

Each apostille office in Canada charges a different fee. Additionally, if you need to hire a service provider there will be applicable service charges.

Contact our friendly staff to discuss what type of documents you have, how many there are, and where they originated.  We will provide you with a free detailed quote to give you an idea of the costs involved with the process.

Document “apostille” certificates are issued by countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. Because Canada had not signed the Hague Apostille Convention, we use a different but equivalent process called “document authentication and legalization”. However, in January 2024 Canada will finally be able to issue an Apostille on a Canadian document.

The primary difference between these two processes is that an apostille certificate will be recognized by any country that has signed the Hague Apostille Convention, whereas a document that has been authenticated and legalized will only be recognized by one specific country – the country that has legalized the document.

Our friendly staff would be happy to answer your questions about document apostille process. Phone us toll-free at 1-888-433-1011, or send us this online form and we’ll get right back to you.

There are circumstances where a certified translation is required and must be submitted along with the original for legalization. This requirement can depend on the purpose of the document or the supporting document requirements of the diplomatic mission in question.

Global Affairs Canada also has a requirement that any document containing a foreign language must be certified by a Canadian Certified Translator. It may also be the recipient abroad who has asked you to provide a certified translation along with the legalized document.

We would be happy to help you find a certified translator or handle the translation as a part of our services. Contact us for your free consultation.
