An affidavit is a form of giving written evidence, sworn under oath. Just as when a person is on the witness stand in court, the deponent (the person making the affidavit) is swearing that what he or she is stating is the truth. For this reason, the deponent needs to be meticulously accurate, and 100% comfortable that what they are stating is the truth. Our new SRL primer, written by Michelle Morgan-Coole, gives basic instructions for writing affidavits, and includes a sample affidavit for reference.

    Dear respected Sir,

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following question,
    Regarding immigration application to Canada,
    could you guide us on how our co-workers make( an affidavit or sworn statement) to prove a previous work history, please?
    I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you.

    This primer is so helpful now that I’ve finally read it in its entirety. It is so clearly and sensitively written – not intimidating at all.

    Thank you,
