Minor children travelling to Canada

Canada and the border services officers are more conscious and alert about the children of the age of minor and requiring protection. Hence, the children under the age of 18 years entering Canada are considered as Minors and are required to follow the same rules as are applicable to any other simple visitor. The rules related to the minors entering Canada are as described below:

  • The children entering Canada without proper documents or who are with the person/s other than their parents/legal guardians are checked and inquired thoroughly. The intent behind this is to ensure the safety and security of the child.
  • Children travelling alone need to have their valid individual passport and they cannot enter Canada using their parent’s passport even if their details are already there in the passport.
  • The immigration officers are very careful about the missing or runaway children and they always dig deep in case of the children travelling alone. Hence it is advisable to keep proper documents with you when you are travelling with your child.
