Are You Considered a Senior?

Canadian Seniors

In some provinces, the definition of senior is considered to be someone over 55. Other provinces define it as 65 or older. You must turn that age on the year of taxation and application to receive the grant for which you are applying.

Are You a Veteran?

There are some incentives for veterans when it comes to making your home more comfortable. For instance, in the Northwest Territories, there is a Senior and Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief program.

Under their conditions, someone is considered a senior if they are 65 or older on the year of application for the tax relief and have a valid medical certificate (approved by the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs) that states that you have a disruptive and/or prolonged disability.

This also extends to veterans. If you are a veteran who receives a pension or allowance of at least 50% under the War Veterans Allowance Act, then you are eligible for these programs.
