NO, Canada had not yet signed the convention. So they cannot issue apostille. Instead the government
say "Canada didn't sign this convention. Instead Canada requires and is required to provide a certificate of authentication when validation is needed for official public documents of foreign origin or for foreign use.".

yes, it is Certificate of Authentication issued by canadian authorities which is same as apostille. It should cost CAD 12 per certificate. Source: http://hcch.e-vision.nl/upload/wop/lse_12ca_e.pdf

That certificate is called FORM 10- INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE OF IDENTIY which is almost similar like apostille. For more information see: www.notaries.bc.ca/scrivpdf/12_4_6.pdf
