Form CF-FC 2484 is required when a former spouse or former common-law partner files a formal application to divide pension benefits under the Pension Benefits Division Act.
When the court order or written agreement between the spouses does not specify the period of cohabitation, the solemn declaration establishes it for the division calculation. The document must be signed before a person authorized to receive it under oath.
The oath, in brief
Form CF-FC 2484 contains a declaration under oath or a solemn declaration: it must be signed before a person legally authorized to receive it — a Commissioner for Oaths, notary, lawyer, or justice of the peace. Once sworn, the declaration has the same weight as a statement made before a court.
In Québec, a Commissioner for Oaths can administer this oath remotely, by videoconference, when the required conditions are met (seeing and hearing each other, viewing the document, keeping it confidential).
