Original documents are usually required in order for them to be accepted abroad. The recipient will want to see original signatures, especially with documents like a Power of Attorney.

In special cases, it may be necessary to authenticate and legalize (or apostille) a copy of your Power of Attorney. Before doing this, you should confirm with the receiving party that this will be acceptable. To authenticate and legalize a copy of a Power of Attorney, you will first need a Certified True Copy made by a Canadian Notary Public.
