Documentation is required to verify your family status to be eligible for the Family Apartment.  

Required documentation includes:

• Proof of Visa documentation and flight itinerary in cases where family members are out of country, to validate they will be coming long-term to live with you. Please note this is not the approval letter from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). 

Failing to provide supporting documents to attest to your family status and that your family will be living with you on a full-time basis may result in your offer of 10 Bay Residence Apartment being paused or revoked.   

If there is a change in your family status such as, you are no longer a couple, no longer living together, death in the family, addition of a child, change in custody of a child, etc., you must notify the Residence Admissions Office immediately and provide supporting documentation to attest to your situation. At the discretion of Housing & Conference Services, we may require the remaining resident(s) to move to another apartment or to vacate the unit if eligibility requirements are not satisfied. Failing to notify as required may result in non-renewal or termination of the lease contract. 

If the death of the family member is the leaseholder, and there are no other eligible students in the apartment for a lease transfer, the tenancy shall be deemed to be terminated 30 days after the death of the tenant.
