I recommend you look at the Family Law Toronto website (link below). Its discussion of mobility rights should give you the beginnings of an answer to this question.
Family Law Information Centres, which are located at family courts, can assist you if you are seeking additional reference information. As well, see the Children's Law Reform Act (link below) for the law itself.
As with all legal matters, you should consult with a family lawyer. Use the Law Society of Upper Canada website to do so (link below).

It depends on what the agreement you and your ex-spouse have made in regards to custody/access. If you share custody (i.e. joint custody with primary care and control to one person) you both have equal say in the matter. If one person has sole custody, the decision rests with him/her. However, some people will put conditions in their order stating that the custodial person is to reside within a reasonable distance to allow contact/relationship with the other person. You and your ex will need to sort all of these issues out and come to an agreement before your divorce will be granted by a court. Also, even after the order is final, either party can make application to the Court for a variation due to change of circumstances.
The poster above has included some good websites and I would suggest you get in touch with your local FLIC office for some free consultation.
