Education - Part-time student - Major functional deficiency

If you have taken part-time courses because of a major functional impairment, you may apply for the "Education Amount" as a full-time student.

This major functional impairment must be certified by a physician, optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, psychologist, physiotherapist or speech therapist.

In addition, you must be enrolled in an eligible program as defined by the CRA.
