Can I leave at 16?

I am a canadian citizen and right now live in santo domingo (dr) my parents are divorced and I hate this place and I am very very depressed, I have a boyfriend in canada and I want to be with him. If I were to leave in july and go to canada and stayed with a family or something can I? Or do my parents have the right to make me get back on a planeā€¦

Please help!

until you are 18 you cant leave withought your parents permition. unles you take it to coart and convince the judg that you are liveing in an unhealthy enviorment and they will most likely send you to live with one of your reletivs. if you want to be completly independent then you would have to get amansepated. but you would need bothe of your parents to agree. and then you would be considerd legaly an adault.
