A document that has an apostille will be officially recognized by any country that has signed the Hague Apostille Convention. By contrast, the legalization process certifies a document for use in one specific country. If you have a Canadian document that you need to present in several countries, you will need to determine whether these countries are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. If yes, the apostille is sufficient. If not, then you will need to legalize this document separately for each of these countries.

Starting in January 2024, Canada will be able to issue apostille certificates on Canadian documents.
