This is what the requirement says-
To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:
„„I certify that this is a true copy of the original document‟‟
the name of the original document
the date of the certification
his or her name
his or her official position or title
his or her signature
Who can certify copies? People authorized to certify copies include the following:
In Canada:
a commissioner of oaths
a notary public
a justice of the peace
Outside Canada:
a judge
a magistrate
a notary public
an officer of a court of justice
a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living
Here it does not specify that you have to notarize it from the country you reside in. You can get it done from back home too as long as it meets the above requirements. The person notarizing needs to be 1 of the 5 officials mentioned above. Hope this clarifies your question.
