Which document are you taking to Canada?
Choose the document and the region of issue: the chain of steps appears at once.
Canada has been a party to the Hague Convention since 11 January 2024 (accession 12 May 2023); before that consular legalisation was required, and older advice online may not reflect the change.
The translation is usually made by a certified translator who is a member of a provincial association.
