What is WDP?

A Work and Development Permit (WDP) allows eligible clients who are experiencing difficulty paying court fines due to hardship to reduce or even clear their outstanding court fine(s) by completing approved activities in place of paying.

A WDP may be issued by the Fines Enforcement Registry (FER) once a Notice of Intention to Enforce (Court Fine) has been issued.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for a WDP if you:

  • are experiencing financial hardship
  • have been or might be subjected or exposed to family violence
  • have a mental illness
  • have a disability
  • are homeless
  • are experiencing alcohol or drug use problems
  • are experiencing another type of hardship
