The eligibility criteria must be met to have access to free legal aid. Specifically, you must meet the test for annual income. This income could come in the form of work, benefits, or financial assistance. The eligibility criteria also require that people not exceed the test for the intrinsic value of the property they have. Although it applies to all applicants for free legal aid, this criterion is particularly important for homeowners. For a single worker with children who works 35 hours per week for the minimum wage, the eligibility requirements for legal aid differ. The worker falls within the lower limit. This person should not have any property but have a car with a fair market value of $4,000. Provided the person is not hiding any other income, they will still be eligible for legal aid. The basic legal aid criterion is that a person receiving social assistance is presumed to be eligible for legal aid. However, this person must be able to prove that they are receiving this benefit, and that there is nobody else contributing to the child’s support (Centre communautaire juridique du SLSJ, 2021). The requirement for pre-approval applies when a person is in custody, has a criminal charge, or is about to have a criminal charge, and does not meet the eligibility criteria. A judge can nevertheless order that the legal aid applicant pays a contribution. The contribution cannot exceed the real cost of the actual service (Centre communautaire juridique du SLSJ, 2021). Apart from the court-ordered contributions, legal aid applicants may voluntarily pay a contribution. The maximum limit is $800, but it can be increased, reduced, or waived. You need to schedule an initial appointment with the nearest legal aid office to determine your eligibility. You must bring all the necessary papers with you to complete your application. To find out about the papers you need to bring for your first appointment, please refer to the section First appointment.
