- your Social Insurance Number or Temporary Tax Number
If you’re the parent paying child support
If you're the parent paying child support, you also need the contact information for the person responsible for payroll at your work.
If you did not file your taxes last year, at the end of the application you will be asked to upload either:
- your 3 most recent pay stubs, or
- the most recent statement of income you got from employment insurance, social assistance, a pension plan, workers compensation, or disability payments.
If you filed your taxes last year and your income has not changed since then, the service may ask you to electronically sign and submit a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) consent form at the same time as you submit your application. This gives CRA your permission to share the information it has about your income with the service.
