Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OSAP Affidavit of Foreign and Non-Taxable Parent Income in Canada?
An OSAP Affidavit of Foreign and Non-Taxable Parent Income is a sworn document confirming that a parent received foreign or non-taxable income. This income may not appear on a Canadian tax return.
The Ontario Student Assistance Program may request this Affidavit if it cannot verify your reported income using standard Canadian tax documents. If your parents’ income doesn’t appear accurately on the documents below, OSAP may ask you to submit this Affidavit:
- Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment
- T4 slips or other Canadian employment records
- Canadian income tax returns
- CRA income verification or tax transcripts
Your parents may lack income verification documents, or they may not accurately reflect their income if they received income that was:
- Earned outside Canada and not reported on a Canadian tax return
- Non-taxable under Canadian tax rules (e.g., certain scholarships, bursaries, etc.)
- Received while they lived abroad, and they didn’t file a Canadian tax return
- Given as family support, sponsorship, or living allowances that don’t generate tax slips
- Received in cash or informal arrangements without official documentation
- Flagged during OSAP verification and required sworn confirmation
Note: If OSAP cannot verify reported income, funding may be reassessed, and grants may be converted into loans.

This Affidavit contains a written statement of facts provided by the parent(s) whose income is being reported. The parent(s) must swear or affirm that the contents of the Affidavit are true and sign it before an authorized official, such as a notary public or commissioner of oaths.
Providing false information to OSAP may result in penalties under provincial student-aid rules. These can include reassessment, repayment, interest, or restriction from future funding.
