Morocco: apostille and legalization from Canada
Apostille only · no embassy stage
Morocco is a party to the Apostille Convention, so a single Canadian apostille is enough and there is no consular step. Files from Montreal are mostly civil-status documents and property matters: a succession, a sale handled by a relative, a divorce judgment to be recorded.
The route your document takes
The Hague Apostille Convention applies to this destination (Morocco). A single apostille from the Canadian competent authority is enough, with no embassy stage.

This is a preliminary route, not a legal opinion. Convention membership and embassy requirements change; we confirm the exact chain for your file in writing before any work starts.

Worth knowing
Documents already in French are common here, and they still need the apostille. Some receiving offices additionally ask for an Arabic translation; we will tell you if yours is likely to.
