Yes, I have family in BC. I just wasn't sure if I had to be physically present?

Did you get your documents notarized, and if so could you recommend any notaries in Tokyo?

My understanding of the email is that I need to get "an embassy or ministry of foreign affairs of my own country (Canada)" to notarize it. I looked up Canadian Embassy in Tokyo (second image) and they mentioned they don't notarize BC documents due to some recent law changes.

I will email them as you mentioned. Thanks!
