Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

According to the Department of Justice Canada website in the Family, Children and Youth Section,


If the paying parent does not continue to provide child support after moving to another country, you may wish to contact your provincial or territorial maintenance enforcement program (MEP).

The MEP can give you information about enforcing a child support order when the paying parent lives outside Canada. Please see Maintenance Enforcement Programs contact information for a list of provincial and territorial programs.


You can find a list of the Maintenance Enforcement Programs for each of the provinces.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
