The legalization process takes place with the appropriate embassy or consulate of the destination country. Each embassy or consulate has their own processing time, ranging from 1 day to 2 weeks. Some embassies and consulates will also provide rush services for an additional fee.
However, before the documents can be submitted for legalization, they will need to be apostilled, or authenticated, by Global Affairs Canada or the appropriate provincial body. The processing timeline depends on the office where the documents are submitted.

To prepare your documents to be legalized, you need to confirm that your documents will meet the criteria of the recipient abroad, the criteria of the apostille or authentication office in Canada, and the requirements of the embassy or consulate of the destination country (if the destination is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention).
Global Affairs Canada, and the provincial authorities, have specific requirements of different types of documents and you will want to carefully review these before submitting them. For example, some documents must be originals and some must be notarized.
The diplomatic missions also have their own requirements that may be document specific. Some embassies or consulates have translation requirements, others requires additional supporting documents. Each diplomatic mission is unique.
