Custodianship Declaration
Failure to provide accurate or truthful information in the CETA Declaration can result in penalties, including the loss of preferential tariff treatment for the exported goods. Exporters found to be in violation of CETA’s rules may be subject to fines or other enforcement actions.
The Custodianship Declaration serves to designate an adult individual or organization (referred to as the custodian) who will take responsibility for the care, supervision, and well-being of the minor during their time in Canada. This is particularly important for minors who are coming to Canada to study, visit family members, or participate in other activities without their parents or legal guardians.
The declaration typically includes detailed information about the minor, the custodian, and the nature of their relationship. It may also outline the duration of the custodianship arrangement, the responsibilities of the custodian, and any special provisions or instructions regarding the minor’s care, such as medical needs or dietary requirements.
While not always required, it’s common for Custodianship Declarations to be notarized to add an extra layer of authenticity and credibility to the document. Notarization involves a notary public verifying the identity of the signatories and certifying the document with an official seal or stamp. Notarized declarations may be more readily accepted by immigration authorities or other agencies responsible for processing the minor’s entry into Canada.
Custodianship Declarations are legally binding documents, and both the custodian and the minor’s parents or legal guardians must understand and agree to the terms outlined in the declaration. It’s important to ensure that the document complies with all relevant laws and regulations governing minors’ entry and stay in Canada, as well as any specific requirements of the immigration authorities or other agencies involved.
Once the Custodianship Declaration is completed and notarized, it may need to be submitted to the appropriate authorities as part of the minor’s visa or immigration application process. Immigration authorities will review the declaration to ensure that adequate arrangements have been made for the minor’s care and supervision while in Canada. Approval of the declaration is typically required before the minor can enter or remain in the country.
