What Our Clients Are Saying
As an expat trying to navigate difficult immigration requirements, I fully appreciate the professionalism of IDC and their attention to detail. I have had to use their service on two separate occasions and was extremely satisfied with both engagements. IDC clearly has the right relationships and processes in place to efficiently handle the document authorization/legalization process. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a responsible agent in Canada.
Thanks very much for this service. That was really painless and we will definitely continue to use your service. It was a vast improvement over the service we used on other occasions.
Thanks so much for your professionalism and efficiency having my documents authenticated. Much appreciated! Turn-around time was amazing!
I am very happy with the service your company has provided. I found this service invaluable as my impending foreign service assignment has been delayed several times due to paperwork issues and the legalization of my marriage certificate had the makings of another long bureaucratic delay if not for your expedited service.
Service was responsive, fast and affordable. I live in Vancouver and some places charge 4x more than idocs did. My biggest reservation was sending original documents across the country but I got them back safe and in good condition.
Communication was prompt and clear, and service exceeded expectations. I discovered only a month before my wedding in Portugal that one of my Canadian documents lacked necessary processing that would, under regular circumstances, take at least a month to complete. Heather and Evey made a potentially stressful experience easy and worry-free, processing and returning my document to Portugal two days after having received it. This is an excellent option for those needing expedited processing.
