First, you need to determine which Canadian government office holds jurisdiction over the origins of your documents. Each apostille office in Canada has its own processing time and requirements. When mailing in documents for apostille, you should expect to wait anywhere from 5 business days to 70 business days, depending on the office. Please note that if you make a mistake in how your documents are prepared or submitted, they will be returned to you unprocessed, forcing you to re-start the process from the beginning.
