Important: All sections of the claim must be completed. Please make sure you have provided all the required information and supporting documents (as indicated on the Claim Form) and have the form signed and dated by the appropriate signing authorities before submitting your claim.

Claims require a complete accounting of all costs.

Submit claims upon project completion. Do not wait until fiscal year end (March 31).

All claims are subject to audit by provincial and federal auditors.

Goods and services that pre-date the Project Approval Notification Letter, or that are received after the March 31 deadline, are not eligible for reimbursement.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not eligible for reimbursement.

Invoices must have sufficient detail to confirm what was purchased. Public Safety Canada will compare what was purchased with what was originally approved. Expenses for goods and services not previously approved by Public Safety Canada will not be accepted.

Arrangements for federal recognition: Public visibility should be given through press releases and/or signage where appropriate. Recognition should, whenever possible, be in tangible form (such as acknowledgement in reports, documents, manuals and videotapes, or on decals or plaques fixed to equipment and vehicles), indicating that the project was funded with the assistance of the Government of Canada (Public Safety Canada).

Upon project completion, submit to PEP the signed Claim Form, Claim Calculation Worksheet, paid invoices, receipts and proof of payment.
