notarized or not?

Hi, eventhough we don't need a statutory declaration of common law according to the cic information, they just requested it anyway. My question is if it needs to be notarized. The email says the following:

Ø

A statutory declaration has to be sworn in front of notary or commissioner of oaths, otherwise it's not a stat dec
