International Adoption

International Adoptions are a complicated, yet rewarding, option.  Your province, country and country of interest all play a role in international adoptions.

Note from the http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/adoption/quicker.asp website.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) knows that people adopting a child from another country want the process to go as quickly and as smoothly as possible. However, intercountry adoption can take time.  

Intercountry adoptions are very complex as they must follow laws set out by

  • provincial and territorial governments
  • the Government of Canada
  • the country of adoption.
CIC must ensure that immigration or citizenship requirements have been met before granting permanent status to an adoptive child. 

Sometimes, prospective parents try to speed up the process by taking matters into their own hands. Although the vast majority of adoptions progress smoothly, adoptive parents should use caution throughout the process.

You should contact the government of the province or territory you live in to obtain the most up-to-date information about the adoption process, and to ensure that the adoption meets all their requirements.

To avoid unnecessary expense and disappointment, adoptive parents should not plan to return to Canada with the adopted child until they know for certain that all immigration or citizenship requirements have been met.
