My minor child is applying for a visitor visa and will travel alone to Canada. What documents must he/she present with the application?

In addition to the required documents for a visitor visa, you must include the following documents:

• A copy of the child’s birth certificate
• A letter of authorization, preferably in English or French, signed by their parent(s) or legal guardian.

The letter of authorization should include:

• the parents’, or legal guardian’s, address(es) and telephone number(s), and
• the name, address and telephone number of the custodian (the adult who will be responsible for the child while in Canada).
