CANADA JOINS THE HAGUE APOSTILLE CONVENTION

On May 12, 2023, the Canadian authorities finally decided to join the Hague Convention of 1961 on the abolition of the requirement for re-legalization of foreign official documents and submitted the relevant sample documents. This was a breakthrough for the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, because after 23.02.2022 it was very problematic to legalize Ukrainian documents for Canada due to the fact that the Canadian embassy in Ukraine stopped providing such services.

It is worth noting that Canada's accession to the Hague Convention was delayed due to disagreements between various Canadian provinces, but a compromise was finally found.

Canada's decision to accede to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention takes effect on January 11, 2024. That is, from January 11, 2024, documents issued in Ukraine for use in Canada should be apostilled, not legalized. Likewise, documents issued by official bodies of Canada will be accepted in Ukraine with an apostille stamp. The requirement for legalization of official documents for Canada has been abolished.

The lawyers of "ENWOLT" will be happy to help you in affixing an apostille for Canada on any documents.
