Why You Need a Notary for Canada Documents
Canada authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For Canada, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
Documents Commonly Required for Canada
- Passport certified copy
- Birth certificate
- Police clearance certificate
- Degree and professional certificates
- Marriage or divorce certificates
- Employment letters and contracts
- Bank statements and financial documents
Common Uses for Canada-Bound Notarised Documents
- Express Entry skilled worker immigration

- Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) applications

- Canadian citizenship applications by Irish nationals with Canadian parents
- Professional recognition with regulatory bodies (CIPS, PEO, CAPP, etc.)
Apostille and Legalisation for Canada
