I think once you turn 18 and are no longer a minor, you can contact your closest Canadian embassy and ask them for assistance. Otherwise, you should talk to your parents or whomever your legal guardian is about your wish to return to Canada.

The embassy would be where they’d turn too to get their passport renewed, but they wouldn’t be of any assistance if he didn’t have the funds for a plane ticket

You won't be able to board a plane without a valid passport. The first step is to renew or obtain your Canadian passport.

Canada will not arrange or pay for your flight ticket. You will either need to pay for the flight ticket yourself or get help from your family. You will also need to bring money with you to be able to survive once you arrive here.

You don't have money but how do you feed yourself during these 13 years in Argentina? Food is free? Then why bother to return to Canada?

1. Actually there is a loan program to return to Canada, whether the OP is eligible or not is a different question.

COVID-19: Financial help if you are outside Canada

You should avoid non-essential travel outside Canada until further notice. You are responsible for your personal travel decisions. If you are already outside Canada, think about returning as soon as possible and find out what commercial travel options are still available to you. There are fewer remaining options and you may experience a sudden hike in prices.


You should attempt to use your own financial means to arrange your return to Canada. For Canadians who have no available source of funds to return home, Canada has announced the creation of the COVID-19 Emergency Loan Program for Canadians Abroad.


Canadians, and, in exceptional circumstances, Canadian permanent residents, outside the country who are directly impacted by COVID-19 will be able to apply for an emergency repayable loan to facilitate their return to Canada and to cover basic essential needs while they work towards their return. Each application will be assessed according to their specific situation and needs.


This emergency assistance is a repayable loan.

There was a Canadian that applied for this, however they were living in Chile and wanted to return because of the virus . His application was refused since he had not lived in Canada for two years .
