Canadian-issued certificates require notarization and provincial or federal authentication before UAE Embassy attestation and MOFA UAE certification. As with the US, Canada’s authentication process is handled at the provincial level for many document types, so the starting point can vary by province of issue.
The Canada Attestation Chain
- Notarization and provincial authentication
- Global Affairs Canada authentication (federal-level)
- UAE Embassy attestation in Ottawa
- MOFA UAE final certification
We manage this process end-to-end regardless of which Canadian province your document originates from, coordinating each authentication step so nothing is missed before UAE Embassy submission.
What You’ll Need
- Original document
- Provincial/Global Affairs Canada authentication
- Passport copy
Typical Turnaround
12-20 working days, starting from the day we collect your original documents. Timelines depend on the issuing authority’s current processing queue – we’ll confirm a specific estimate for your document when you contact us.
