Entry regulations of Canada

Consent letter is recommended for children travelling abroad

Minor children travelling to Canada Children under the age of 18 are considered minors in Canada. They must follow the same rules to enter Canada as any other visitor. Minors who try to enter Canada without the proper documents, or who are with adults other than their parents or legal guardian(s), will be checked more closely. Border services officers are on alert for children sho need protection and check very carefully for missing or runaway children. They must question you about children who come with you to Canada or question a child who travels alone. Make sure you have the proper documents with you. If a minor child is travelling with one parent only The parent should present :

● a letter of authorization, in English or French if possible, which is signed by the parent who is not travelling with them and lists
- the address and telephone number of the parent sho is not travelling, and
- a photocopy of that parent's signed passport or national identity card.

If the parents are separated or divorced, and share custody of the child
● he parent travelling with the child should carry copies of the legal custody documents.
● It is also best to have a letter of authorization from the other parent who has custody to take the child on atrip out of country.

If the parents are separated or divorced and one of them has sole custody of the child
● he letter of authorization may be signed by that parent only and they should bring a copy of the custody decree.

Recommended consent letter for children travelling abroad We strongly recommend that Canadian children carry a consent letter if they are abroad alone, with only one parent/guardian, with friends or relatives or with a group. For the purposes of this consent letter, a Canadian child is defined as anyone who is under the age of majority (18 or 19, depending on the province or territory of residence). A consent letter is not a legal requirement in Canada, but it can simplify travel for Canadian children, as if may be requested by immigration authorities when entering or leaving a foreign country or by Canadian officials when re-entering Canada. The letter demonstrates that Canadian children have permission to travel abroad from parents or guardians who are not accompanying them. We recommend that you talk th a lawyer avout the legal issues that apply to you and your children’s unique situation, particularly if your parenting arrangement has special terms governing international travel. Carrying a consent letter does not guarantee that children will be allowed to enter or leave a country, as every country has its own entry and exit requirements. For additional information about entry and exit requirements for Canadian children travel alone, with only one parent or with another accompanying person, see out Travel Advice and Advisories or contact the nearest embassy or consulate of the destination country. We recommend that the letter be signed by every non-accompanying person or organization with the legal right to make major decisions for the child, including anyone with

- custody rights
- guardianship rights, or
- parental authority (in Quebec only)
