​What is it? 

If you live in Canada, but receive a pension or other benefits from another country or jurisdiction, you may be asked to submit a life certificate (also called certificate of life, proof of life certificates, certificates of existence or certificates of living status) to maintain your entitlement to your pension or other benefits. 

A life certificate is a document that confirms that a person is still alive and is entitled to qualify for benefits, most commonly pension payments. Otherwise benefits or pension provider would not be able to verify whether you were still alive and keep on distributing pension or benefits payments!
How is a life certificate completed? 

Generally, a life certificate requires an official, such as a notary public, to verify that the person is still alive by meeting with them, confirming their identity by reviewing their identification and then signing the life certificate.
​
Different life certificates may have different requirements. You should always contact the government or organization that issued your life certificate for assistance and clarification as to what the specific requirements are for your life certificate.
