Who can apply for the Common Experience Payment?
All former residents who resided at one or more recognized Indian Residential Schools and who were alive on May 30, 2005, will be eligible for the CEP, as long as they did not opt out or were not deemed to have opted out of the settlement agreement. The list of recognized Indian Residential Schools can be found on the CEP application form, and in Schedules E and F of the settlement agreement. Additional schools may be added to this list in the future, provided they meet the criteria set out in the settlement agreement.
Former students who attended the Mohawk Residential Boarding School in Brantford, Ontario, between 1922 and 1969, and who were alive on October 5, 1996, are also eligible to apply for the Common Experience Payment.
