Q: Does a 3 year old boy require a passport to re-enter Canada from the US?
His mother is a Canadian citizen and it's my understanding that he is too because of her citizenship (though confirmation would be great). That said, he was born in the US. They are located currently in Oregon and will be coming home to Toronto to get out of an abusive situation.
His mother has permission from his father to take him over the border to Canada, but I am getting a lot of mixed answers about whether or not he needs a passport himself or not. I'd love some advice. Thank you!
A:
To be on the safe side there is only one place to definitive answer The Canadian Consular office nearest to their location. That can be Googled.
The worst thing you can do is show up at the border and not know what the rules are.
