If a child 11years old has been in foster care and his siblings have returned home can he make the choice not to be returned home?
I'm afraid a child is not allowed to decide where to live until he is at least 18yo. It's either his parents, or as in this case, the court who decides.
If a child is 17-years-old can you ask him to move out of your home?
I think that depends on where you live, so you would have to check with your province and or state to find that out. But if you would like your child to leave home, and they can by law, make sure he/she has a place to go and or money to support themselves.

Does a child in Child Protective Services have a legal right as to where the child should live?
No, a child under the age of 18 in the US does not have legal right to decide where they would like to live. CPS will make a recommendation and the court will issue an order of custody.If that was the case, there would be a lot of children who still would want to live with their parents who, I take it, have neglected them.A bit more:If you are asking if Child Protective Services has a legal right to say where the child should live (meaning which parent), then no, that would be up to a judge. The responsibilities of CPS is to remove a child from a harmful, neglectful, etc. home, but not to say with which parent they have to live with. Only a judge can rule on which parent is the best for the child.
How old can a child be to say where he wants to live?
I certainly cannot speak authoritatively for all states in the US or in foreign countries. As a general rule, child custody issues are determined by state law in the US. It is likely determined by the state where the divorce was finalized (regardless of where you live now). While certainly not universal, it is common for the law to make NO provision for a child to make a determination about with which parent he or she will live. This is true, regardless of the child's age. So long as a person is a minor (under the age of 18), he or she may not make their own determination about which parent will provide the primary home.
