Is a consent letter required by law?
Not in Canada. Border officers and airlines can still ask for one, and failing to produce it can mean delays or a refusal to enter or exit a country.
Can any adult witness it instead of a notary?
Yes, any adult may witness it. The Government of Canada strongly recommends a notary public, because a sealed letter is less likely to be questioned.
Our son is 17 and has an adult passport. Does he need one?
Yes. The guidance covers every child under 19 who travels without both parents or guardians.
Can the two parents sign on different days?
Yes. Each parent signs in person with photo ID, on the day that suits them. Call 416-951-3301 first so we know the letter is coming.
