- Yes. Canada joined Hague Apostille on 11 Jan 2024 and IRCC accepts Thai-issued Apostille (from Dec 2024) directly for all immigration filings.
- Do I need a translator certified in Canada?
- No. IRCC accepts translations by qualified translators in Thailand if accompanied by a translator's affidavit. We provide this affidavit notarized by a Thai NSA.
