When travelling with children, you will see the world through their awestruck eyes. Keep in mind that you will be travelling at your children’s pace, not your own. Here are some essential tips for a safe and successful trip:
It is strongly recommended that children travelling alone or with one parent carry a consent letter for each and every trip abroad. It is advisable to have the consent letter certified, stamped or sealed by an official who has the authority to administer an oath or solemn declaration so that the validity of the letter will not be questioned. See www.voyage.gc.ca/alt/letter.asp for a sample consent letter.
