wow. that's a relief. thank you.
that's what I've been told. But two notaries here in rural America think otherwise.

I'll try again, see if we have UPS store here, or anywhere where they really know what they are doing.

THANKS!

If I remember correctly, the notary public can certify your signed testimony certifying that the document you are submitting is an exact copy of your original. I did it in a bank and they were friendly enough to let me notarize a whole bunch of documents for free since I have an account with them. This should work just fine.

So does it mean I have to prepare a template that says that the copy is an exact copy of the original?
I went to a notary today and all she did, after explaining what things to be done, was put a note saying "witnessed original" and signed it.

I hope I can find someone who knows how to certify.
Thanks!

The notary just asked me to write it on the copy of the document and notarized my signature. I guess yours is even better. Should work either way, don't worry. If you are called for an interview you will be asked to present originals anyway.

Let's see how it goes, I'll keep you updated.

By the way, do you have any particular place in Quebec where you want to settle? I am looking at Gatineau myself.

Montreal is very big. There are alot of clean and relatively quiet neighborhoods.

Montreal has plenty of good neighborhoods and much more safer than many other North American cities I have seen..and with the excellent public transport system, connectivity is not at all a problem...I have been here for 2 years now and I love the city for what it has to offer...
