For a custody order issued in Manitoba to be enforceable in British Columbia, what must happen?

For a custody order issued in Manitoba to be enforceable in British Columbia, it must be registered in British Columbia. This process allows for the recognition and enforcement of custody orders across provincial boundaries in Canada.

When a custody order is registered in the new jurisdiction, it becomes an enforceable order in that province, meaning any necessary legal actions can be taken to ensure compliance with the order. This registration serves as a crucial step in facilitating jurisdictional cooperation and helps prevent conflicts between different provinces regarding custody issues.

The other options do not sufficiently fulfill the legal requirements for enforcement. Notarization is not a requirement for cross-province enforcement, and modifying a custody order by a British Columbia court is not necessary unless there is a need to change the terms of the original order. The notion that the order could be enforced without registering it contradicts the legal framework that governs custody enforcement in Canada, as registration is paramount for recognition in a different jurisdiction.
