Canadian law on prohibited steps act.

Me and my wife are looking to move to canada to seek a better life for our family. We have two children but I am not the biological father.
I have already equired about moving to canada and after completing an elegability test I was told thatni would be successful. But after consulting a solicitor to obtain rights to remove a child from the uk they told me that the USA and canada authorities are very hard on giving their permission
to bring children that arnt accompanied by both biological parents.

I am worried as moving to canada has always been a life long ambition and i have planned my eductaion, career, qualifications and work experiance since leaving school around a life in canada.

The main reasons for wanting to move to canada are:

- Provide a better way of life for my family.
- To excell in my career as a heavy plant engineer
- Get out of the UK again to protect my family from lack of opportunities and structure.
- Also i think that canada is a beutiful country

If anyone can offer any advise. EG from personal experiances i will be very gtreatful

If your wife has full custody of her children, she can bring them to Canada or if she doesn't have full custody but the father(s) of the children allow it, same thing.

If she doesn't currently have full custody of the children, and the father(s) might not allow it or their whereabouts are not known, she can start working on getting full custody.

Even where the mother has full custody, what documentation (if any) must she carry with her to convince border authorities that she is legally transporting the children out of one country and into Canada?
