Canada / France Agreement

Applying for a French Disability Benefit

Here is some important information you need to consider when completing your application.

Please ensure you sign the application. If you are signing with a mark, (for example: “X”) the signature of a

witness is required.

Your application must be supported by documentation. Please submit the documents requested. Failure to

complete the application and provide the requested documentation may result in delays in processing your

application.

Where original documents are specifically requested, originals must be submitted with your application. You

should keep a certified true copy of any originals you send us for your records. Some countries require original

documentation which will not be returned to you.

You may submit the original or a photocopy that is certified as true for any of the documents where originals

are not required. It is better to send certified copies of documents rather than originals. If you choose to send

original documents, send them by registered mail. We will return the original documents to you. We can only

accept a photocopy of an original document if it is legible and if it is a certified true copy of the original. Our

staff at any Service Canada centre will photocopy your documents and certify them free of charge. If you

cannot visit a Service Canada Centre, you can ask one of the following people to certify your photocopy:

Accountant; Chief of First Nations Band; Employee of a Service Canada Centre acting in an official capacity;

Funeral Director; Justice of the Peace; Lawyer, Magistrate, Notary; Manager of Financial Institution; Medical

and Health Practitioners: Chiropractor, Dentist, Doctor, Pharmacist, Psychologist, Nurse Practitioner,

Registered Nurse; Member of Parliament or their staff; Member of Provincial Legislature or their staff; Minister

of Religion; Municipal Clerk; Official of a federal government department or provincial government department,

or one of its agencies; Official of an Embassy, Consulate or High Commission; Officials of a country with which

Canada has a reciprocal social security agreement; Police Officer; Postmaster; Professional Engineer; Social

Worker; Teacher.

People who certify photocopies must compare the original document to the photocopy, state their official

position or title, sign and print their name, give their telephone number and indicate the date they certified the

document.

They must also write the following statement on the photocopy: This photocopy is a true copy of the

original document which has not been altered in any way.

If a document has information on both sides, both sides must be copied and certified. You cannot certify

photocopies of your own documents, and you cannot ask a relative to do it for you.
