Please prepare:

• the document, the signature on which you want to attest,

It is impossible for a consul to attest the signature on this kind of document which you drafted yourself.

The fee is listed in Consular fees section. 

The fees must be paid at the office counter when submitting the application. Accepted forms of payment: cash, money order, certified bank check (credit cards, debit cards or personal checks are not accepted). Consulate General in Toronto accepts debit and credit cards except American Express.

You can obtain the attestation of signature authenticity when you visit a consulate.
