I would suggest that you give the affidavit instead of your father, if you are in Canada, prepare the affidavit and get it notarized by a notary public in Canada, that should be fine.

I did the same and its taken as a valid document.

Good luck

Is notary public & commissioner of oaths both are same?

It looks like NO, they are different in their functionality.

It would be better you stick to Notary public.

Good luck.
