19. Entitlement to financial assistance ends as soon as(1) the child dies;
(2) the child reaches 18 years of age or, if financial assistance was maintained beyond 18 years of age pursuant to the fourth paragraph of section 9, the child is no longer in the situation referred to therein or reaches 21 years of age, whichever occurs first;
(3) at least one of the child’s parents has been reinstated as tutor;
(4) the tutor ceases to provide for the child’s upkeep;
(5) the tutor dies;
(6) tutorship or Indigenous customary tutorship, as the case may be, ends for other reasons, including the tutor’s replacement; or
(7) the tutor leaves Canada to establish his or her residence in another country, unless the tutor is in one of the situations described in the first paragraph of section 20.
The tutor is required to notify the institution in writing as soon as one of the situations referred to in subparagraph 1 to 4, 6 and 7 of the first paragraph occurs and, if leaving Canada, the tutor must do so before the tutor leaves.
Despite the first paragraph, if, in the case of Indigenous customary tutorship, the application for financial assistance was made jointly by both tutors, financial assistance ends, in the cases provided for in subparagraphs 4 to 7 of the first paragraph, only if both tutors are in one of the situations described therein.
