Student and apprentice loan borrowers applying for the Severe Permanent Disability Benefit need this nine-page medical report from a licensed physician or nurse practitioner. If medical adjudicators find them eligible, their Canada Student Loans, applicable provincial student loans and Canada Apprentice Loans are cancelled. The report asks whether a permanent disability prevents substantially gainful work for life, with diagnoses, treatments and a prognosis.
A licensed physician or nurse practitioner completes Sections B to E: nature and history of the disability, treatments and medications, prognosis, and identification and signature. The patient completes Section A and the separate SPDB application.

The borrower's obligation to repay Canada Student Loans, applicable provincial student loans and Canada Apprentice Loans is cancelled. ESDC's benefit page adds that they would then not be eligible for any additional Canada Student Grants or Loans, and that receiving the benefit is neither automatic nor guaranteed.
