(1)  a copy of the support order;

(2)  an application relating to the execution of the support order, drawn up in French; and

(3)  the amount to be paid, converted, where applicable, to Canadian currency at the exchange rate in force on the date of the support order.

The support order to which the first paragraph refers is the support order provided for by a judgment enforceable in a state, province or territory designated in accordance with the Act respecting reciprocal enforcement of maintenance orders (chapter E-19) or any other document having the same force and effect in that state, province or territory.
