Document background
The Affidavit Of Support And Consent And Special Power Of Attorney is a versatile legal instrument commonly used in Canadian jurisdictions for various purposes, including immigration sponsorship, family arrangements, and delegation of legal authority. This document is particularly valuable when an individual needs to both declare their support/consent and grant specific powers to another person, such as in cases of immigration applications, consent for minor children, or management of personal affairs. It must be executed in accordance with provincial power of attorney legislation and federal requirements for affidavits, typically requiring notarization or commissioning. The document is frequently used in situations where the grantor needs to provide formal support commitments while also authorizing another person to act on their behalf, especially when dealing with government authorities or financial institutions.
