When you share parenting arrangements with another person, there might be restrictions on whether you can move away or travel with your child.
Or, if you're your child's only parent or guardian, you might need certain documents to prove that you're allowed to take the child outside of Canada.
Can you move — With or without your children?
There are rules you have to follow if you're planning on moving somewhere that would affect your child's other parent's ability to spend time with them.
Do you need any legal documents to leave Canada with your children?
If you're the child's only parent or if you're travelling without the other parent, you might need documents to prove that you're allowed to take them out of the country. You may need a notarized travel consent letter from the other party showing that they agree to you taking the children outside of Canada. Sole guardians may need to show a court order confirming they are sole guaridans in order to travel with the children outside of Canada.
