Documents that may be required

You are required to send the originals of the documents we request. They will later be returned to you.

Following are examples of documents that may be required to establish eligibility for benefits:

• the Record of Employment. The Record of Employment is an official document produced by your employer. It enables us to establish the amount of your benefits. Even if you do not have your Record(s) of Employment on hand, you can still apply for benefits, because your eligibility is established as of the date you file your application
; 
• written confirmation from a doctor confirming the number of weeks of pregnancy and when the pregnancy was interrupted
• proof of your immigrant status (e.g. forms IMM-1000 and IMM-5292)
• a power of attorney to act on behalf of a person who is incapable of managing his or her affairs and a medical certificate confirming the person’s incapacity
• the Revenu Québec and Canada Revenue Agency notices of assessment
• large-sized birth certificate
• the placement order for the child’s adoption
• the death certificate of one of the parents
