As noted on the LawGuru website questions directed to this lawfirm must be answered with reference to British Columbia law. The law varies from Province to Province and may not be the same in other Provinces or Territories.

We presume that you and your son both want contact with your grandson. You have not said if your son's access was pursuant to an informal arrangement, a formal agreement or court order. If either of the latter two, then it is likely that the Supreme Court of British Columbia would order a return; if the first, then you still have to go to Court, but the process is different. Please see a lawyer.
