According to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you do not need to send any documents when you file your tax return. However, you will need the documents later when CRA asks. CRA may ask for a signed statement from a medical practitioner showing when the impairment began and what the duration of the impairment is expected to be.

For more information, you can visit the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website - Canada Caregiver Credit
