What are Document Authentication and Legalization?

Document Authentication and Legalization is the Canadian equivalent to an Apostille.  The first step in the process is to have your documents stamped by the authentication section of Global Affairs Canada. The authentication stamp affixed to a document deems it to be a legitimate Canadian document.  The next step is to have the document legalized by the specific countries Embassy or Consular Office. Once the document has been legalized, it is deemed to be a legitimate document for use in that specific country.
