A Certificate of Residency issued by the Canada Revenue Agency will require notarization in order to meet the criteria of the apostille process. A Canadian Notary Public can make a certified true copy of the Certificate of Residency for processing. However, in some cases the notarization must be done on the original itself because there are some countries that will only accept original documents. It is important to research these details in advance of having your document notarized.
