Waiting on a progress payment or holdback release? Owners and general contractors often require a CCDC 9A or 9B statutory declaration first. Walk in to any Canada Notary office and we’ll commission it on the spot.
CCDC 9A is the Statutory Declaration of Progress Payment Distribution by Contractor. The contractor declares that everything payable from the previous payment has been paid, apart from holdback, amounts deferred by agreement and amounts withheld because of a communicated dispute. It’s commonly a condition of the next progress payment or of holdback release.
CCDC 9B is the same declaration made by a subcontractor to the contractor. Both are declared before a Commissioner for Taking Affidavits, Notary Public or Justice of the Peace.
