Why Does an International Student Need a Custodian?

Citizenship and Immigration in Canada require foreign students in Canada to have a legal custodian if they are under the age of 18 (19 in British Columbia and New Brunswick). A legal custodian must reside within a reasonable distance of the minor child’s intended residence and school as well as make adequate arrangements for the care and support of the student. Even if underage students are accepted to a university or a college in Canada, they will not be able to obtain a study permit without the required signed and notarized custodianship form. Student Academic Success Strategies provides the required signed and notarized custodian declaration along with the formal supervision service upon student's arrival in Canada.
