Guardianship
Canadian Federal & Provincial Regulations
Citizenship and Immigration Canada requires unaccompanied foreign students studying in Canada to have a legal guardian in place if they are under the age of majority. Age of majority is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. In British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and Yukon the age of majority is 19.
Required Documentation
In the Province of Quebec two additional documents are required to obtain a CAQ, the provincial equivalent to the Federal Study Permit. The Quebec Guardianship Declaration is completed and signed by the guardian. The Quebec Guardianship Parental Authority Declaration is completed and signed by the parents. Neither of these documents require notarization.
