HOW THE AFFIDAVIT PROCESS WORKS
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I sign the affidavit before the appointment?
Usually no. Affidavits are generally signed in the presence of the Commissioner or Notary.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Same-day and urgent appointments may be available depending on scheduling.
Can affidavits be used for immigration matters?
Yes. Affidavits are commonly used for immigration and international documentation.
What is the difference between "swearing" and "affirming" an affidavit?
Both methods have identical legal weight and consequences, but they cater to different personal beliefs: Swearing an Oath: A religious declaration where you swear to the truth of the document on a sacred text (such as the Bible). Solemn Affirmation: A non-religious, secular alternative where you formally pledge on your conscience that the facts presented are entirely true. Our team will ask for your preference before administering the verbal oath.
Can an Ontario affidavit be commissioned online?
Yes, remote (online) commissioning is completely legal in Ontario. Under Ontario Regulation 431/20, affidavits and statutory declarations can be securely witnessed over a live, real-time video call.
What happens if there are mistakes or false statements in an affidavit?
An affidavit carries the exact same legal weight as giving testimony under oath inside a courtroom. Signing an affidavit containing information you know to be false constitutes perjury under Section 131 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Perjury is a serious criminal offense that carries severe legal penalties. Always review your factual statements carefully before your appointment to ensure total accuracy.
