About Canadian Consulate Dubai
Canada maintains diplomatic presence in the UAE through the Embassy of Canada in Abu Dhabi and consular services available to Canadians in Dubai. Canadian nationals in Dubai can access services including: passport renewal and emergency travel documents, notarial and authentication services, consular registration and assistance, and information on Canadian government services. For document attestation, Canada is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Canadian documents are apostilled through Global Affairs Canada (GAC) or provincial authentication offices. The attestation chain for Canadian documents being used in the UAE is: Provincial authentication (varies by province) → Global Affairs Canada (GAC) apostille → UAE MOFA attestation. Since Canada uses the apostille system, the process is generally simpler than for non-Hague countries. However, some UAE authorities still require the traditional attestation chain even for apostilled documents. AttestExpress advises on the correct process based on your specific situation and handles the MOFA attestation step in Dubai.
Documents Required
- Original document with GAC apostille or authentication
- Provincial authentication (if required by GAC)
