Consent to Travel Letters

Common questions

Is a consent letter legally required?
It is strongly recommended by the Government of Canada and frequently requested by airlines and border officials. Travelling without one risks delay or refusal of boarding.
Does the absent parent need to attend?
The consenting parent or guardian signs before the notary. We explain the signing logistics, including options when a parent is abroad, when you book.
