Hey All,

Just curious... what is a Commissioner Of Oaths?

I'm having to update my application as when I applied my girlfriend and I were not classed as common law, we now are*. So I'm emailing in to update my forms.

* We are not sponsoring each other, she is a non dependent and is filling in her own application for the CEC. She is Scottish and I am English.

I am in Toronto and curious where I can find a Commissioner Of Oaths, will I have to pay for them to sign?

Thanks!
 
Yes there are fees for commissioner of oaths signing documents. People such as lawyers, notary public, judge/justice of the peace to name a few are commissioner of oaths. I went to a notary public when I needed my documents signed and witnessed fees were about $25 per document as I had a few I needed to get done. Hope that helps.

Hi

MPs can notarize documents for free.
 
MP as in member of parliament? I don't think I know any.

Would I still need to common law to be signed by a commissioner of oaths even though we are not sponsoring each other?

Thanks

Yes, Member of Parliament. Just call up the local office and ask for an appointment.

Yes, you still need to provide that form. Even though your partner is a non-accompanying dependent, you must still provide all required information for her and vice versa.
 
It's my understanding that most banks have a notary on staff, you could give them a try, as I believe they do it for free most times.

Suggest googling "Commissioner of Oaths" " Toronto" and you'll see a range of possibilities. From lawyers, paralegals, notaries public, to the city Clerk's office. In my town, there's one at the library ... Service Canada and/or Service Ontario probably has one. Most (all?) will charge for the service.
 
Before you pay anyone, check and see if there are local immigration services in Toronto. In Winnipeg (and surrounding cities and towns) there are local service that help and advise immigrants on how to fill out PR and Citizenship applications, as part of this service they will notarize documents for free.
