Q5: Have the rules for Enrolment as an Inuit beneficiary by marriage to an Inuit beneficiary been modified with the new Regime?

A5: The new regime does not affect the rights already acquired under the old Regime.

Under the old Regime it was possible to enrol as a beneficiary by marriage to an eligible Inuit beneficiary. With the new Regime (since May 1st, 2006), a person that marries an Inuit beneficiary no longer automatically obtains the status of beneficiary.

As of May 1st, 2006, all persons will have to submit an Enrolment Nunavik Inuit Beneficiary (Adult) Application Form (Form A) to the local enrolment committee requesting to be enrolled as an Inuit beneficiary.
