OSAP Affidavit FAQ
What is OSAP affidavit?
An OSAP Affidavit is a sworn statement used to confirm information related to an Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) application.
OSAP may request an Affidavit when standard supporting documents are unavailable, do not fully reflect your circumstances, or are not enough to verify information in your application. Depending on your situation, an Affidavit may be used to confirm details about your:
- Marital or common-law status
- Sole support parent status
- Student income
- Spousal income
- Parental income
- Foreign or non-taxable student income
- Foreign or non-taxable spousal income
- Indigenous identity
An Affidavit contains a written statement of facts that you swear or affirm are true. Because it is a sworn document, it must be signed before an authorized official, such as a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.
When Might You Need an OSAP Affidavit?
You may need an OSAP Affidavit if OSAP or your school’s financial aid office asks you to provide sworn confirmation of information that cannot be verified through standard documents.
For example, you may be asked to provide an Affidavit if:
- You do not have official documents confirming your marital or family status
- Your living or relationship circumstances have changed
- You are separated without a formal Separation Agreement
- You need to report foreign or non-taxable income that does not appear on Canadian tax documents
- Your income cannot be verified through standard Canada Revenue Agency records
- A parent, spouse, or other relevant person must confirm financial information
- OSAP has reviewed your application and requested additional supporting documentation
The exact information required depends on your circumstances and the request you received. Review your OSAP account, supporting-document requirements, or instructions from your school’s financial aid office before drafting your Affidavit.
