Part-Time OSAP Zero Income Attestation
OSAP Zero Income Attestation
For Part-Time OSAP Students
Typically, the part-time OSAP application is able to electronically verify your previous taxation year鈥檚 Canadian income through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
However, if your Canadian income can't be electronically verified, you will be asked to provide documentation to satisfy your proof of income.
A common reason that your Canadian income may not be electronically verified is that you didn't file taxes for the previous taxation year because you didn't earn any income during that time.
If you've applied for part-time OSAP and indicated that you didn't file Canadian taxes for the previous taxation year, you'll need to submit an attestation as proof of these statements. Note that this attestation must be true and accurate. The CRA will be checking!
You can upload your documents to the Required Documents page of your OSAP portal under 鈥淧roof of Income鈥� and 鈥淓xplanation of Financial Situation.鈥� If you're unable to upload content in this section of your OSAP portal, please use the 鈥淥ptional Uploads鈥� tab located at the top of the Required Documents page.
Once uploaded, our Student Financial Assistance team will review your documents within 3 to 6 weeks from your date of submission. After being reviewed, you'll receive a status update through your OSAP Message Centre. You can also track your documents' progress by checking our OSAP Processing Dates page.
