Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OSAP Affidavit of Parental Income in Canada?
An OSAP Affidavit of Parental Income is a sworn document used to confirm your parents’ income for a given year. It’s required when standard verification methods, like CRA records, are unavailable or insufficient, often because they had little or no income.
The Ontario Student Assistance Program may require you to submit one if you lack the official documentation to prove your parents’ income status.
OSAP typically verifies parents'' income with official documents such as:
- Income tax return (Notice of Assessment)
- T4 slips
- Employer records
- Canada Revenue Agency information
Your parent(s) may have been supported by family or friends, but lack the documentation to prove their income status because they:
- Didn’t earn employment income and have no pay stubs or T4 slips
- Lived abroad during the relevant period and lack Canadian income documents for that time
- Weren’t required to file an income tax return due to having little or no income
This OSAP Affidavit officially confirms your parents’ financial circumstances and the accuracy of their reported income when standard income documents aren’t available.
Note: If OSAP cannot verify reported income, funding may be reassessed, and grants may be converted into loans.

What is an OSAP Affidavit?
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 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.
Signing an OSAP Affidavit with a Notary Public
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.
