Overview

Why Canada asks for a legalised agency agreement

An agency or distribution agreement appoints a local company abroad to import, register or sell your products. Many countries require it to be registered with a ministry before the agent can act, and they accept it only once legalised. The agency or distribution agreement is executed between your Indian company and the foreign agent, signed by your authorised signatory.

Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Canada usually ask for a legalised agency agreement for registering a commercial agent or distributor, product registration by the local agent or exclusive territory appointments.

A agency agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Canada accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Canada has accepted the apostille since January 2024, replacing consular legalisation.

Process

The Canada process for an Indian agency agreement

  1. Confirm the requirement

    Share the agency agreement and the instructions you received from Canada. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.

  2. Notary in India

    The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies your company and signatory and stamps the agency agreement.

  4. MEA apostille

    The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.

  5. Back to you

    The finished agency agreement is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Canada.

What to send us

  • Translation, if the ministry abroad requires it
  • Company registration copies
  • Board resolution authorising the signatory
  • Original signed agency or distribution agreement

Avoid rejection

  • Check whether the agent must sign before or after legalisation.
  • Use the exact registered names of both parties.
  • Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
  • Sign every page; some embassies reject agreements initialled only on the last page.
