More people are using their Canadian studies and work experience to sit Korea's national technical-qualification exams — and submitting foreign academic documents to Q-Net requires official authentication. Canada is a Hague member, so locally issued academic documents with an apostille are recognized by Korean institutions without embassy legalization. Apostille Korea handles issuance, apostille and Korean notarized translation in one online stop.
What is an apostille?
An apostille is the Hague Convention's simplified international authentication. When both the issuing and receiving countries are members, a single apostille certificate gives a document international authenticity — no consular confirmation or embassy legalization. Since both Canada and Korea are members, Canadian academic documents with an apostille can be submitted as official to Korean bodies including Q-Net.
