Navigating immigration paperwork? We provide comprehensive notarization services for all types of immigration documents, from visa applications to sponsorship forms, ensuring your documents meet IRCC requirements.
About This Service
Immigration to Canada requires extensive documentation, and many documents must be notarized or certified to be accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Whether you're applying for a visitor visa (TRV), work permit, study permit, permanent residency (PR), or Canadian citizenship, proper document notarization is essential for a successful application. Our services include certified true copies of passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational credentials, and other identity documents; affidavits and statutory declarations supporting your application; sponsorship declarations and relationship affidavits; and certification of translated documents. We understand IRCC requirements and can help ensure your documents are properly prepared to support your immigration journey. Improperly notarized or certified documents can result in application delays or refusals, so getting it right the first time is crucial.

Why It Matters
IRCC requires notarized or certified documents to verify authenticity and prevent fraud in immigration applications. Simple photocopies are not accepted for most immigration purposes - you need certified true copies made by a Notary Public or other authorized official. Affidavits and statutory declarations add legal weight to claims you make in your application, such as relationship status, employment history, or financial support commitments. For documents in languages other than English or French, you need a certified translation with a translator's affidavit. Submitting improperly certified documents can result in your application being returned as incomplete, delays in processing, or even refusal. Given the time, money, and hope invested in immigration applications, ensuring your documents are properly prepared is essential.
