Create Your Consent to Travel Letter

If you’re travelling alone with your child, you may need a consent to travel letter

A consent to travel letter is a letter that shows that Canadian children have permission to travel abroad from parents or guardians who are not accompanying them.

The Government of Canada strongly recommends that Canadian children have a consent to travel letter if they are travelling without one or both parents. The Government of Canada also strongly recommends having consent to travel letters witnessed by a notary public.
