Due to increasing concern for the safety of children, many governments including that of Canada have initiated special requirements for when children under 18 years of age are traveling with only one parent.

The traveling parent now requires documentary evidence in the form of a notarized consent to travel letter be presented to establish the relationship of the accompanying adult to the child as well as permission of the parent(s) or legal guardian before a minor can cross international borders. This requirement is in addition to other legal requirements as specified by airlines and official authorities. Read more
