If you want to process documents in the mail, the length of time it will take will depend on a few factors. For example, where you sent the documents will affect the length of processing time.

When handling the document apostille process (also known as attestation) by mail, it may a few days or several weeks.

This is because the processing times at each office varies. As of January 2024, Global Affairs Canada has a posted processing time of a minimum of 30-45 business days (although in reality they are taking over 60 business days). Provincial offices vary from 5-15 business days.
