A: Appointing a custodian for a minor child who is traveling to Canada without both parents or legal guardians involves the following steps:

Identify a responsible adult who is willing and able to act as the child's custodian while they are in Canada. The custodian can be a relative, a family friend, or another trusted adult who is at least 18 years of age and has the capacity to care for the child.

Discuss the responsibilities of the custodian with them to ensure they are aware of what is expected of them. This includes ensuring the child's safety, providing for their accommodation and basic needs, and making sure they attend school (if applicable).

Complete the IMM 5646 Custodianship Declaration form, providing all necessary information about the child, the custodian, and the child's parents or legal guardians.

Have the form notarized by a notary public or another authorized official. This involves signing the form in the presence of the notary public or authorized official and having them sign and date the form as well.

Submit the completed form along with any other required documents to the appropriate Canadian embassy, consulate, or visa application center.

A:  Guide 5269 and IMM 5646 Custodianship Declaration form are both official documents published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) but they serve different purposes and are used in different contexts.

Guide 5269 provides guidance on how to apply for a study permit from outside Canada. It is intended for prospective international students who are planning to study at a Canadian educational institution and need to apply for a study permit. The guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to complete the application, what documents are required, and how to submit the application.

On the other hand, the IMM 5646 Custodianship Declaration form is used when a minor child is traveling to Canada without both parents or legal guardians. The form is completed by the parents or legal guardians of the child and the custodian who will be responsible for the child's care while in Canada. The purpose of the form is to establish the custody arrangement and ensure that the child is in the care of a responsible adult while in Canada.

In summary, Guide 5269 provides guidance on how to apply for a study permit from outside Canada, while IMM 5646 Custodianship Declaration form is used to establish the custody arrangement for a minor child traveling to Canada without both parents or legal guardians.

A: A custodian is an adult who is responsible for the care and well-being of the minor while they are studying in Canada.

If a minor is travelling to Canada to study and will be living in Canada without their parents or legal guardians, they must have a custodian who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, over the age of majority, and who is willing to take legal responsibility for the minor while they are in Canada.

The custodian must be able to provide care, support, and supervision to the minor, including ensuring that they have a place to live, providing for their basic needs, and monitoring their well-being. The custodian may also be responsible for making decisions related to the minor's health care and education.

The appointment of a custodian is usually formalized through the completion of the IMM 5646 Custodianship Declaration form, which must be signed by the minor's parents or legal guardians, the custodian, and a notary or commissioner of oaths.

A: If any of the documents you submit with your study permit application are in a language other than English or French, you will need to provide a translation of the document. The translation must be certified by a certified translator or a notary public, and must be accompanied by the original document.

The certified translator must provide a signed statement attesting to the accuracy of the translation and their qualifications as a translator. The statement must include the following information:

The name and contact information of the translator or translation service.

A statement that the translator is fluent in both languages and that the translation is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge and ability.

The date and signature of the translator or authorized representative of the translation service.

Note that some documents, such as police certificates or medical reports, may require translation by a certified translator or translation service approved by the Canadian government. It is always best to consult the specific requirements for each document to ensure that they are translated and certified correctly.

A: If the person who completed the translation is not a certified translator, it is a good idea to obtain an affidavit from them attesting to the accuracy of the translation. The affidavit should include the following information:

The name and contact information of the person who completed the translation.

A statement that the translator is fluent in both languages and that the translation is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge and ability.

A statement that the translator understands the importance of the accuracy of the translation and that they will be held accountable for any inaccuracies.

The date and signature of the translator or authorized representative of the translation service.

Note that while an affidavit is not always required for translations, it can be helpful in demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of the translation. It is always best to consult the specific requirements for each document to ensure that they are translated and certified correctly.
