Information your Financial Aid Office Requires Prior to the Release of Loan/Grant Certificate
Before your financial aid office can release your loan/grant certificate to you, you must:
- register for and begin classes;
- provide proof of registration;
- present two forms of identification:
- One piece of valid photo ID issued in Canada
by the federal or a provincial or territorial government (a legible photocopy is acceptable). Examples of
acceptable ID are: a valid driver’s license, passport, provincial health card with photo, permanent
residency or citizenship card, etc.
- One document proving that the Social Insurance Number on your loan or grant
authorization document is your own. For example, you may present your Social
Insurance Number card (a legible photocopy is acceptable) or an official Government of
Canada document that indicates your Social Insurance Number (e.g., a Canada
Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment, a Canada Pension Plan Statement of
Contributions, or a Confirmation of Social Insurance Number from Service
Canada).
IMPORTANT:
- The combination of these two pieces of identification must include your photo, your name, your address and your Social Insurance Number.
- A note will be made of the documents that you presented and whether the identification was consistent with the information on your application. These documents may not be recorded or copied.
Students Studying Outside Canada
The ministry will send the following documents directly to you:
- your loan/grant certificate;
- a fact sheet that provides complete details on how to negotiate your loan;
- your Confirmation of Enrolment form.
Because these documents are mailed directly to you, it is extremely important that you notify the ministry of any change to your address. You can change your address by going to Update Your File on the OSAP main page.
You are responsible for ensuring that your loan/grant certificate is completed and signed before you forward it to the NSLSC, along with two forms of identification:
