Is there a deadline to apply for the WEPP?

Applications must be submitted to Service Canada within 56 days of either the later of the following:

  • the date of the bankruptcy/receivership;
  • the date that your employment ended due to termination, resignation, retirement or expiry of term; or
  • the date on which the receiver terminated your employment.

If there is good cause for missing this deadline, a written explanation for the delay must be provided.
