Travellers who are departing Canada with minor children, as a precaution for possible checks and requirements at the airport and at border crossings, are advised to take a copy of the birth certificate of the child with the parents' names clearly visible, and possibly also a letter of consent (if possible legally certified) of the unaccompanied parent/s or otherwise an evidence of sole custody with them.
