Ghanaian documents for use in Canada, or Canada documents for use in Ghana, may need to be authenticated (legalised) by the embassy. This confirms the document is genuine.
If you need someone in Ghana to act on your behalf (e.g., for property transactions, legal proceedings, business matters), you can execute a Power of Attorney at the Ghana High Commission Ottawa.
