Custodianship

[TANU SHARMA]

Custodianship Query – I submitted a study permit application for a minor (outside Canada). Minor’s both parents are inside Canada. Father is on a closed work permit (valid for 3 years) and the mother is on implied status (SOWP submitted).

The officer requested the following:

1. Parent Consent Letter: Completed consent of Custodianship
2. Parent Authorization to Travel: Signed letter of authorization from the non accompanying parent(s) authorizing your travel to Canada. Must be accompanied by a copy of their passport or national id clearly showing their signature.

I am clear on #2 but not sure what is officer requesting in #1. Custodianship form IMM5646 is NOT APPLICABLE in this case as both parents are in Canada. Further, this form can be signed by PR/Citizen only and the parents are on temporary status in Canada.

Please advise. I am given just 7 days to respond.
