When you need a legalised business agreement in Canada
Sale and supply contracts, service agreements, joint venture agreements and MoUs signed in India often need legal effect abroad, for tenders, bank financing, registrations or court proceedings. Business agreements such as sale, supply, service, joint venture or MoU documents are executed by your company's authorised signatory.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
In Canada, a legalised business agreement is typically requested for tenders and supplier registration; it is also used for joint venture or project registration and bank financing and dispute resolution.
A business 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.

The Canada process for an Indian business agreement
Send us a scan first
WhatsApp a scan of the business agreement and tell us who in Canada will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.
Notary in India
The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
The business agreement is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
Back to you
The finished business agreement is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Canada.
