Canada has not signed the 1961 treaty on Apostille, which means that documents issued by Canada authorities (such as birth certificates and police records required for residence visa applications) and contracts signed in front of and notarized by Canada notary, must be authenticated by a Panama consul in Canada. The procedure involves to:
a) have the document notarized in Canada by a Notary Public;
b) have the Notary's signature authenticated by the Lieutenant-Governor of the province in which the Notary is commissioned. Requests for authentication are usually chanelled through the Deputy Provincial Secretary of the province (other province auhtorities are listed here). In Quebec, the Secretary of the Board of Notaries / Chambre de Notaires http://www.cdnq.org/ authenticates these documents. In Ontario, the Official Documents Services (ODS) of the Ministry of Government Services http://www.gov.on.ca/MGS/en/OffDoc/STEL02_046905.html Federal documents must be submitted to the Authentication and Service of Documents Section (JLAC), Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada in Ottawa http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/common/authentication_documents-en.asp / http://www.international.gc.ca/common/authentication_documents-fr.asp;
c) have this signature authenticated by the Panama consular services in Canada (call first to determine the fees and if it is possible to mail them the document with prepaid return postage);
d) arrange for your Panama attorney to have the Panama consul's signature authenticated in Panama by the Panama Ministry of External Affairs.
Please note that only original documents (or certified copies of these), bearing the signature of the competent signing authority may be authenticated.
