The U.S. currently has bilateral, federal-level agreements with nine Canadian provinces and three Canadian territories: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland/Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Yukon.  \nThis Caseworker’s Guide updates an earlier version issued September 8, 2011 (IM-11- 01) . It incorporates policy information for Prince Edward Island, which was not a Foreign Reciprocating Country (FRC) when the former Caseworker Guide was issued. Because the U.S. does not have a federal-level agreement with Quebec, case processing information for that province is not included in this Caseworker Guide 1 . The Caseworker Guide addresses the policies and practices of the 12 provinces and territories that have been declared FRCs.  \nCanadian Child Support Enforcement Structure  \nCanada is a federal state, composed of ten provinces and three territories, each with its own government and power to make laws. Under the Canadian Constitution, family law is an area of shared responsibility between the federal and the provincial and territorial governments. In family matters, the federal government has jurisdiction over divorce , while the provinces are responsible for couples who separate or who were never married. Provinces and territories are otherwise responsible for all other matters concerning family breakdown. As such, responsibility for support enforcement is largely provincial/territorial. Each province and territory has one central support enforcement agency.  \nThe Canadian federal government has established the Support Enforcement Policy and Implementation Unit, Department of Justice Canada (Justice Canada ) . The federal role is to assist and support the provinces and territories in their enforcement activities. The Justice Canada website is [http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/index.html](http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/index.html) and the specific page on child support is [http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/fl-df/child-enfant/index.html](http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/fl-df/child-enfant/index.html).  \nCanada has two legal systems. All provinces and territories use common law except Quebec, which has a civil law system. Child or spousal support may be ordered under provincial/territorial family law or under the federal Divorce Act (DA) in the context of a divorce proceeding. The common law provinces have substantially similar family law statutes that govern establishment, modification (called variation in Canada), and  \n1 Information on the child support program in Quebec is available at  \n[http://www.revenu.gouv.qc.ca/en/citoyen/pens_alim/](http://www.revenu.gouv.qc.ca/en/citoyen/pens_alim/ and)[ and](http://www.revenu.gouv.qc.ca/en/citoyen/pens_alim/ and) the National Child Support Enforcement  \nAssociation website at [http://www.ncsea.org](http://www.ncsea.org).  \nenforcement. All common law provinces and territories have adopted similar child support guidelines to calculate the support payment. These guidelines, which are based on federal guidelines, determine the basic amount of child support based on the income of the obligor and number of children. Information on the federal child support guidelines can be found at the following link [http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/fl-lf/child](http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/fl-lf/child)enfant/guide/index. html.  \nInterjurisdictional Support Orders Act  \nProvincial and territorial Interjurisdictional Support Orders (ISO) Acts govern how provinces and territories in Canada operate in interjurisdictional support matters.
