Hi Tina, you can get the document copy certified by a notary or by a family doctor who will sign at the bottom with his seal and date and a notation that he/she has seen the original document and this copy is a true one. The notary or those who usually certify ( attest ) the document used to keep a rubber stamp with the required wording for certification. You don't have to give any format for that. The guide only gives an example for  every one. If you are in Canada, your embassy/Consulate in Canada also will do the attestation. Take originals with photocopies ( one copy extra for their file ) together with your passport and resident proof.  Hope you are clear now.
