Arcadia HK oh shut the fuck up lol. Before I began traveling with my child, I called, literally, every govt agency remotely related to travel and all confirmed that it was not required unless I was traveling overland to Canada.
that's not true. I called every agency I could think of for answers on this as I am a single parent and the answer was always that it is not necessary at all unless I was traveling by land to Canada.
