Step-by-Step Attestation Process for Canadian Documents
- Some documents, such as affidavits, educational certificates, and powers of attorney, may require notarisation by a Canadian Notary Public or a lawyer.
- Ensure you have the original document or a certified true copy (e.g., notarized by a Canadian notary public if required). Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, university degrees, or police clearance certificates.
- For educational documents like university degrees, you may also need supporting documents such as official transcripts or a confirmation letter from the issuing institution.
- The document is submitted to Global Affairs Canada (GAC) in Ottawa for authentication.
- GAC verifies that the signature, seal, or stamp on the document is genuine (e.g., from a notary or public official).
- This step is essential before the document can be legalised by the Qatar Embassy.
- Requirements: The document must bear an original, recognized signature and seal. If it’s not in English or French, a certified translation may be needed.
- Once authenticated by GAC, the document is submitted to the Embassy of Qatar in Ottawa.
- The embassy confirms the authentication and applies its legalisation stamp.
- This step confirms the document’s validity for use in Qatar.
- Upon arrival in Qatar, the document may require a final attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
- This final step validates the document for official use in Qatar.
Key Notes:
- Contact the Requesting Party: Before starting, confirm with the entity in Qatar (employer, university, etc.) which documents and specific requirements apply, as Qatar has strict rules, especially for educational credentials.
- Educational Documents: Degrees often require direct university involvement (e.g., transcripts mailed to the embassy), adding time and coordination.
Timing: The full process can take weeks or months, depending on GAC and embassy processing times, so start early.
