9. Financial assistance may be renewed on 1 January of each year until the child reaches 18 years of age.
To maintain entitlement to financial assistance for the following year, the tutor must submit a renewal application to the institution not later than 30 November of the current year. Despite the foregoing, the tutor is not required to submit a renewal application for the year following the year in which the tutor submitted a first application for financial assistance if the application was submitted after 1 June. In the latter case, financial assistance is automatically renewed.
The renewal application must be made using the form provided by the institution, contain the information provided for in the third paragraph of section 3 and be accompanied by the affidavits provided for in the first paragraph of section 4.
Despite the first paragraph, financial assistance may be maintained until the child reaches 21 years of age where the person who acted as tutor continues to provide for the child’s upkeep and the child is registered in an educational institution to receive services governed by the Education Act (chapter I-13.3), the Education Act for Cree, Inuit and Naskapi Native Persons (chapter I-14) or section 5 of the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (chapter M-15), other than instructional services in vocational training. In that case, the renewal application must be accompanied, in addition to the documents provided for in the third paragraph, by proof certifying that the child is registered in such an educational institution to receive such services.
