All documents presented to us for certification must be accompanied by a Letter of Waiver and proof of a company鈥檚 registration in Canada with the federal or provincial/territorial government and must be submitted online.
Please allow sufficient time for the review and certification of your documents. Please scan and email multi-page documents, non-routine documents or background documents for review to importexportservices@chamber.ca before getting them notarized and submitting them. Non-routine documents will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Multi-page/high volume requests can be processed the same day provided they are submitted online no later than 3:00 p.m. ET for Full Service. We will certify DIY documents up until 4:30 p.m. ET.
Global Affairs Requirements
Any documents that require authentication from Global Affairs, other than Certificates of Origin, must be notarized by a notary public or commissioner of oaths. Having a letter of waiver on file with us is insufficient.
A non-preferential certificate of origin is a document attesting the origin of goods in a particular shipment, when the goods either do not meet the requirements stipulated in a free-trade agreement, or are destined to a territory that does not have a bilateral or multilateral free trade agreement with Canada.
We can certify a variety of documents, the most common being Certificates of Origin.
We offer various processing fees, along with discounts for members.
