• Confirmation of your financial resources for 2011

  Important! You must fill out and send us the Confirmation of Financial Resources for 2011 form no later than February 21, 2012, even if your income has not changed. Otherwise, your financial assistance instalments will be suspended as of March 2012. Please note that you must fill out the form again, even if you filled it out in the fall.

  You can update or confirm your financial resources on-line. Simply click on On-Line Access to Your File! under the menu Your On-Line Services. Fill out the Identification section, then click on Full-time forms and Confirmation of Financial Resources.

  The form allows you to update or confirm the income you declared for 2011 (from January 1 to December 31). You can access the form any time until you send it.

  Remember that you must inform us of any change in your circumstances over the course of the year that might affect the amount of financial assistance awarded to you. By ensuring that your file is up-to-date with accurate information, you will avoid any of a number of inconveniences, such as:

  • Suspension of your financial assistance instalments
  • Obligation to immediately repay a financial assistance overpayment
  • Loss of eligibility under the Loans and Bursaries Program or the Loans Program for Part-Time Studies for a two-year period

• Payment of Financial Assistance Previously Scheduled for December 28, 2011

  Thank you for your forbearance.

The Tax duplicates tab allows you to consult and print, if applicable, duplicates of documents that are required for your income tax return (e.g. Relevé 1 or T4A tax slip or letter certifying a payment to Aide financière aux études).
