You apply at your nearest legal aid office (See Map/Office Locations). If you are told to come to the office, ask when it's open and if you need an appointment. Ask what you will need to bring, such as:

• identification (social insurance card, health card, Treaty card, driver's license, etc.)
• case-related documents (court orders, separation agreements, papers regarding criminal charge)
• current income proof (pay stubs, social assistance cheque stubs, etc.)
• up to date bank books or statements
• income tax returns (if you are self employed or seasonally employed)
• proof of the value of your assets (car, RRSPs, etc.)
