You will need to apostille the Canadian death certificate because it provides the recipient in the destination country with proof that the death certificate has been verified by the appropriate authorities in the country of origin. The apostille office will verify the signature of the registrar of the vital statistics agency of the issuing province.

Then, if legalization is required, the embassy or consulate will legalize the death certificate based on the apostille certificate.
