Extensions to Submit PIP Applications

(I.E.Canada)

Due to the hardship caused by the global economic downturn, CBSA has advised that the PIP program will consider granting extensions up to March 31, 2009 on a case-by-case basis for legacy PIP members to re-apply for the modernized PIP program.

Legacy PIP members are those PIP members who were approved before June 30, 2008. To ensure uninterrupted membership and continued PIP benefits, re-application under the new program must be submitted by December 31, 2008 unless an extension is granted.

Those requiring extensions should send their request via the PIP e-mail box at pip-pep@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca. CBSA has advised that requests for extensions will receive prompt attention.
