In India physical adoption is necessary but in the given matter the child is to be adopted in Canada so an affidavit of the natural father giving his consent for the adoption duly attested by Executive Magistrate shall suffice.

All the adoption procedure would be depends upon the citizen ship.

Hello Mr. Rajkumar,
Thanks for your reply, you mean its simple attestation or it should be sworn infront of a magistrate(collector/tehasildar)and to be registered in the records of either court or revenue.
As far as my understanding executive magistrate means collector/tehasildar,if i am wrong please correct me,so there is no involvement of court in this context.
Thanks and regards
