Prepare the documents needed to apply for a waiver
You'll need:
- A Requisition (Form F17),
- A draft Order to Waive Fees (Form F85), and
- An Affidavit in Support of Order to Waive Fees (Form F86)
You can save the forms to your own computer at any time, if you need to close them and come back later to finish filling them out.
For more information about preparing orders, see Tips for writing Supreme Court orders.
When you fill out the Requisition (Form F17), type in "File an application for an order to waive fees" under "Required."
If you're receiving benefits under the Employment and Assistance Act or the Employment and Assistance Act for Persons with Disabilities Act (income assistance), get a statement from the Ministry of Social Development & Poverty Reduction confirming how much you receive and for which months you've received it. Ask your financial assistance worker for this information and attach it to your affidavit.
The Affidavit in Support of Order to Waive Fees (Form F86) has four exhibits (or parts) that must be included:
- Exhibit A: the financial statement,
- Exhibit B: details of your education and employment history,
- Exhibit C: workplace skills, and
- Exhibit D: the document(s) you want to file without paying filing fees (see Step 1 for links to other step-by-step guides for instructions on how to complete specific documents).
