Take an Eye Exam<\/h3>\n

When you arrived, the Government of Canada normally gave you the The Refugee Protection Claimant Document (RPCD)<\/a> with an IUC number. It's commonly known as \"brown paper\".<\/p>\n

It is required to take advantage of a free eye exam (for this, you must make an appointment with an optometrist<\/a>), as well as getting free or low-cost glasses.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Confirm your Eligibility<\/h3>\n

    Thanks to the brown paper, our optician will be able to confirm your eligibility with Blue Cross M\u00e9davie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    If approved<\/strong>, you'll be entitled to an allocated amount for the purchase of glasses once every two years.<\/p>\n

    If NOT approved<\/strong>, don't worry about it. We'll find a solution.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
