For example, if you have a Canadian long-form birth certificate that you need to use in Colombia, processing will likely be simple. In most cases, all you will need to do is have this document apostilled through the appropriate apostille office in Canada. However, if you have a private document, there are a number of additional factors to consider. Is your document written in English or French? If no, it may need to be translated. Was it properly notarized? If not, the Power of Attorney will need to be notarized by a Canadian notary in good standing. Because of these differences, having the correct information on how to process your particular document is very important.
