Canada is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents). In order to process your FBI background check for Canada, it will need to be processed through the US Department of State and the Canada Embassy in Washington DC. This two step process is necessary in order for the country of Canada to accept your documents.
