Document background
An Affidavit Of Dependency serves as a crucial legal document in Canadian legal proceedings where the establishment of a dependency relationship is required. This document is commonly used in various contexts including immigration applications, tax filings, insurance claims, and social benefits applications. The affidavit must be executed in accordance with the Canada Evidence Act and relevant provincial legislation, requiring proper witnessing by a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public. It contains detailed information about both the deponent and the dependent person, including specific evidence of financial support, living arrangements, and circumstances establishing dependency. The document is particularly important in situations where official verification of a dependency relationship is required by government agencies, courts, or other institutional bodies.
