If it is destined for an apostille country, an apostille is required by the appropriate apostille office in Canada. Each office varies in processing time.

If it is destined for a non-apostille country, the document will need an additional step of legalization. The diplomatic mission of the destination country will set its own processing time.

• How are you going to handle the process (i.e. by mail, in person, use an agent)?
