—–Public Notice from the ERFN Registry Department—-

There is a new process to apply for the per capita payment. Please do not resubmit your application, as it causes delays in the process.

 If you need to change your previously submitted application, please contact Eva Miller at CIBC by phone at (204) 218-0541, or by email at Eva.miller@cibc.com.

Please complete this form and email it to General CIBC Mailbox CIBCTrustIndigenousTrust@cibc.com Forms can be submitted anytime.  We will then obtain Council Approval, prior to payment. You can access the application form by clicking here. 

Payments for Minors will be issued on the anniversary of February 6 (Eligibility Date), or on the next business day thereafter, upon receipt of the completed form.

If you do not have a bank account and require help in opening one, contact the closest CIBC Branch to you or the Reserve Sooneyawi Kumik Banking Centre CIBC Branch at (306) 425-6727 and someone at a branch will be happy to help you. You can also reach out to any other major financial institution in your area.

Payments can only be made to accounts in the name of the Minor/ Member who is receiving the distribution.

If you are eligible for more than one claim, you will receive separate payments for each claim.
