The MSFAA is a lifetime student loan agreement for full-time students that only has to be completed once during your postsecondary studies. The agreement contains the terms and conditions you need to agree to in order to receive and repay your OSAP loan.
Once you've submitted your online application you can print your personalized MSFAA. It is provided as a PDF and you’ll need your OSAP password to open it. Please ensure that it prints legibly. If you applied using a paper application or if you requested that the ministry to mail all forms to you, it will automatically be mailed to you. However, you always have the option of printing it yourself.
Sign your MSFAA then take page 1 (the other pages are for your reference) to a designated Canada Post Outlet. Do it right away – don’t wait for classes to begin. You must present two pieces of documentation to prove your identity:
1. Proof of your Social Insurance Number (SIN):
• Your Social Insurance card or
• An official Government of Canada document that contains 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).
2. One piece of valid photo ID issued in Canada by the federal, provincial or territorial government. Examples of acceptable ID: Canadian passport, permanent resident or citizenship card, Ontario photo card, valid driver's licence or provincial health card with photo. Student ID cards are not acceptable.
If you’re not in Canada and can’t get to a designated Canada Post outlet or if there isn’t one near you, mail page 1 of your MSFAA and photocopies of two pieces of documentation to prove your identity (see list above) to:
