Hi everyone,

I’m considering immigrating to Canada, but my situation is a bit complicated, and I’d love some advice or to hear from anyone with a similar experience. I recently went through a divorce and currently have joint custody of my daughter. Now, I’m wondering—if I move to Canada, would I be able to apply for full custody? What are the rules around custody for immigrants in Canada?
I’m trying to make the best decision for my daughter and want to understand what legal options I’d have there. I’ve read that family law varies by province, so it’s been hard to find a clear answer. Has anyone here been through this, or does anyone know about the custody rules in Canada?
I’m considering reaching out to Zukerman Law for legal advice since they seem experienced in family law. If anyone has any insight, I’d be so grateful! Thank you!

Is ex allowing you to possibly take child out of the country? This is a family law issue in your home country whether you get full custody to bring your child to Canada. If you want to immigrate and don’t have full custody then your ex must allow it. If ex allows you to take child to Canada, then you will need to set up joint custody schedule if ex allows it.

How are you immigrating to Canada? With drastic cuts to immigration, you must meet a higher bar.

If you want to obtain sole / full custody, you need to do that through the court system in your home country, not in Canada.

If you want to move your daughter to Canada without having sole / full custody, then your ex needs to provide written permission for your daughter to move to Canada with you.

Hi there, navigating custody issues while immigrating can be complex, but it’s great that you’re planning ahead. In Canada, family law indeed varies by province, and custody decisions are based on the child’s best interests, which include stability and maintaining relationships with both parents. It’s essential to understand that moving might not automatically grant you full custody, especially if your ex-spouse disagrees. Consulting a law firm like Zukerman Law is a smart step to get tailored advice and understand how Canadian laws might apply to your situation. Additionally, it’s important to document your plans for the child’s well-being, such as housing, schooling, and community support, as these factors can significantly influence court decisions.
