PROVINCIAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (PDAP)

Check with your insurance provider to see if any damage may be covered. Your provider will need to verify, in writing, that your policy does not include coverage for the losses. Once you have verified your losses are not covered, contact your local authority office or PDAP for an application package. Ensure that the package is completely filled out with all required documents attached. Completed application packages must be returned to PDAP within six months or they may be deemed ineligible for assistance.

To avoid delays, submit your application to PDAP as soon as possible. You can make note on the application that you are in the process of gathering the required documents and will submit them as soon as you can.

For agricultural and small business claims:

• A copy of your prior year’s T1 General income tax return(s) submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA); the return(s) must include any Statement of farming Activities or any Statement of Business Activities (T2125) schedules.
• If filing as a limited corporation, a copy of the prior year’s T2 Corporate Tax Return(s) including Schedules 1 and 125; unaudited financial statements are not sufficient.
• The CRA Notice of Assessment that corresponds with either the T1 or T2 tax return(s).
• All T4 and/or T5 slips associated with the above T1 General Personal Tax Returns(s) or T2 Corporate Tax Return(s), if the agricultural operation/small business had employees.
