Due to recent changes to the Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Tax Assessment form, please be advised that the Canada Student Loan Program (CSLP) and StudentAid BC are no longer accepting this CRA form as acceptable documentation to confirm identity at designated Canada Post outlets, nor is it accepted as documentation to request a revision (reassessment) to a social insurance number. This change to procedure was required as the Canada Revenue Agency no longer identifies a client’s full social insurance number on the Notice of Tax Assessment form.

Acceptable documentation includes BOTH of the following:

• A social insurance number card/letter, or a copy of an official Government of Canada document that includes the social insurance number; AND,
• Official government-issued photo identification, such as a driver's license, B.C. identification card or passport.
