Self-Identification Reassessment Support Available at Locations across the Province
Qalipu First Nation is pleased to announce that we now have support in place to assist applicants with understanding, and responding to, the self-identification reassessment letters that were recently sent out to applicants previously denied on the self-identification criterion.
This reassessment is the outcome of a court case, Wells et al. v. Canada, the result of which was a change to the timeframe within which self-identification documents had to be dated, and addition of the right to an appeal for applicants denied on the self-identification criterion. Recipients of these letters which were mailed on January 31, 2019 now have the opportunity to submit additional self-identification documents or indicate the documents on their file that fit within the new timeframe.
The deadline to respond to the reassessment letters is May 13, 2019.
Did you receive a letter? Are you wondering if you should have? Are you confused about what the letter means and how to respond?
Our support team is now in place to help. Please reach a member of the team to set an appointment in an office near you, or to talk through your questions over the phone. Please see below for team contact information:
