I have, or am eligible for, “Indigenous” status now, but I don’t know if I had or was eligible for that status when I was a child. Can my application still be considered for eligibility?

Yes. The Exceptions Committee has directed that the Claims Administrator may determine a Class Member’s Indigenous status, or eligibility to status, as of the present, and need not investigate whether the class member had status, or was entitled to status, as of the date of their removal.
