The most complete guide on the apostille of Canadian documents for other countries is here. It has a lot of examples, pictures, explanations, and images of the apostilles. Everything has been personally tested by me on hundreds of clients in Canada.

According to the official website of the Canadian Ministry of Immigration:
Expiry of translated documents
A translation cannot change over time and should be valid indefinitely unless the original document has changed or has expired. If the signature of a certified translator or notary has expired, it does not invalidate the translation. As long as the translator's certification was valid at the time of signature, the translation remains valid.
The only time the translation would expire and a new translation would be required is if the original document has expired or has changed and the applicant submits a new document.
