Does my daughter need consent from both parents?
I currently live in Canada with my wife. I had applied for a visitors visa for my 11 year old daughter, who lives in Egypt, about a month ago. I was sent a letter online by CIC today stating that a parental authorization letter is needed for her to travel. I have already given them one from her mother when i first applied.
Does this mean they also want one from me ?
Best Answer
The documents a minor child needs to enter Canada depend on whether the child is travelling alone or with someone. Authorisation from both parents is required if the child is travelling alone.
If a minor child is traveling alone, or will be accompanied by an adult not the child's parent, the documents they should present are:
- their own passport
- a copy of their birth certificate, and
- a letter of authorization, in English or French if possible, and signed by both parents or by their legal guardian which lists:
- the parents’ (or legal guardian’s) address and telephone number, and
- the name, address and telephone number of the adult who will look after the child in Canada.
