The first thing you need to know is that Canada has finally become a signatory of The Hague Apostille Convention. Your documents will need to be submitted to the appropriate apostille office in Canada. The apostille offices function on a jurisdictional basis, depending on where the documents originated.

You can certainly handle the process on your own (by mail or in person), or you can hire a service to handle the process on your behalf. If you decide to do the process on your own, it is critical to ensure your documents are prepared correctly. If you make a mistake in the preparation of your documents, they will be rejected and you will have to re-start the process again from the beginning.

Additionally, you should be aware that if done by mail, the process can take many weeks, depending on the apostille office involved. Using an expert service to handle the process for you can ensure that unnecessary delays are avoided.
