There is no such thing as a stupid question on Ebaby!

I've been reading the forums here for a long time. I know that some of you feel that your questions are too simple, or that you can't explain yourself well enough to ask a question properly. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! JUST ASK

If you ask a question, it will get answered. If it doesn't, just write to me and I'll give it a shot. Don't be shy. Don't think that someone will laugh at you for asking what YOU think is a stupid question. There are no stupid questions. OK?

We are a community, some need help, others help. It's as simple as that. If we can learn English as well as learn to help other people, this small part of the world will be a better place. 

Is there any way we can keep this Ask English part open for questions and use the Life Talk for the 'I Want To Meet People' posts? Just a suggestion.

oh, that's nice..
I have a question, but it's not about grammar or pronunciation… please tell me what is
the procedure of legalizing a copy of a document there in Canada? I am curious just because here in my country there is a concept – apostile, and I wander if the copies of important documents are officialized in the same way there. And what 
department or state structure is competent to do this?

thank you.
 
i miss you…

Hi Oxanna, I miss you too!

Here in Canada, an 'official' document has to be  notarized to be official.  We have people who are officials of the government, minor officials, who are known as 'notaries' or 'public notaries' .   They are able to verify things, with a seal and a stamp. Faxes are ok in most cases, and even emails can be used for some official things. I guess it depends on what document you are using. Passports are the most important and can't be copied, of course. When you are applying for certain papers, the originals must be used. I hope this helps. Keep in touch Oxanna, ok?
