Free OSAP Affidavit of Marital Status Template

An OSAP Affidavit helps you complete your OSAP application and secure financial assistance for your studies. You might need one if you lack the documentation OSAP requires to prove a certain status in your OSAP application.

This Affidavit contains a written statement of facts provided by the OSAP applicant, the person making the Affidavit. You must swear or affirm that the contents of your Affidavit are true and sign it before an authorized official, like 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.

In Canada, Affidavits (including your OSAP Affidavit) must be commissioned to be considered valid. This is a necessary step, and without it, your Affidavit isn’t valid.

You can meet with a notary online to have your Affidavit commissioned in 7 minutes, from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection.
