Wrong issuing authority
A school record, provincial record, notarized copy, and federal document may follow different paths.
Document legalization
Apostille and authentication for Canadian documents for Romania
Canadian students applying to Romania should not treat legalization as a last-minute detail. Depending on the document, issuing province, and university request, you may need authentication, apostille, notarization, translation, or a specific official copy.
Important distinction
Authentication, apostille, notarization, and translation are not the same thing.
A notarized copy may confirm a copy or declaration. A translation changes the language. Authentication or apostille can confirm the signature or authority behind a public document. Universities and government offices may ask for different combinations.
That is why Canadian applicants should not copy a checklist from another student without checking province, document type, and current university instructions.
Practical rule
Verify the receiving institution first, then prepare the document. Doing it backward can waste time and money.
Common risk points
Where Canadian files get delayed.
Wrong copy type
Some steps require an original, certified copy, notarized copy, or official transcript instead of a casual scan.
Wrong sequence
Translation before legalization may be correct in one context and wrong in another. The exact sequence matters.
Canada-wide caution
This is not Ottawa-only and not Ontario-only. Canadian applicants should check the official route for the province or authority that issued the document.
How StudyROM treats this
No guessing on legal documents.
StudyROM can help you understand what to ask and how to organize the file, but the final legal or official requirement must be checked with the issuing authority, receiving university, embassy, or government page.
That makes the service safer: guidance first, official confirmation before submission.
Need direction?
Send the document situation before paying.
Share what province issued the record, what program you want, and your target intake. You will get a fit check before any paid plan.
