Follow the current IRCC checklist, then book an eligible affidavit or declaration for remote commissioning, or an in-person appointment for signature notarization. Certified true copies require a separate physical-original appointment.
Quick answer
Immigration Docs can be commissioned online over a secure video appointment with an Ontario Notary Public under O. Reg. 431/20, or handled in person in Ottawa. The flat rate is $24.95 + HST and most appointments take 15-25 minutes.
IRCC document requirements are program-specific. Minute Notary can remotely commission eligible affidavits and statutory declarations under O. Reg. 431/20. Signature notarization and certified true copies are separate in-person office or mobile services; a physical original must be inspected for each certified copy. The notary performs the requested act but does not review the application, choose supporting evidence, or provide immigration advice.

Why it matters
Use a notarial service only when the current IRCC checklist or a written request asks for a certified copy, sworn declaration, affidavit, or witnessed signature. The checklist decides the document and format; the notary performs the act. Notarization does not validate the underlying facts, improve approval odds, or replace advice from an authorized immigration representative.
Straightforward process. Most appointments completed in minutes once we're face to face.
Review your IRCC application checklist to determine which documents need certification, notarization, or sworn declarations. Bring all relevant original documents.
Eligible affidavits and declarations may be remotely commissioned or handled in person. If the checklist asks for a witnessed or notarized signature or a certified true copy, book the separate in-person service and bring any required original.
Present your valid photo ID. The notary verifies your identity, which is especially important for sworn declarations and affidavits.
Depending on your needs, we certify copies, administer oaths for affidavits, witness signatures, or certify translator declarations.
Receive your notarized/certified documents immediately. We can process multiple documents in a single visit.
