Legal and Notary Services for Canadian Expats

Hi everyone,

I am a Canadian expat living abroad and want to send my kid to high school in BC, Canada.

For my kid to attend school in BC like every other Canadian, not paying international students fees, I have to make one of my relatives her legal guardian.

Does anyone on this forum have experience with doing that?

What do I need to do to make my relative my child's court ordered legal guardian?

Thanks, Chris

Legal and Notary Services for Canadians Abroad

Hi Chris

Thanks for your inquiry.

Canadian Embassies have the authority to perform a variety of legal and notary services to Canadians living abroad. One of the services they offer is serving documents and taking affidavits.

A fee is charged for each service provided. More information can be found in here.

You can sign an affidavits in front of a Canadian Consular Officer and make one of your relatives your daughter's legal guardian in Canada.

Call the Canadian Embassy in Seoul, Korea, to find out more information about this service, and check with the school in BC if they accept this type of affidavit.

Good Luck
Sharon
