It says we qualify for the NOEC because we live in the Kenora area but we do not live on reserve.

    Yes, you would still apply for the Northern Ontario Energy Credit (NOEC) even if you do not live on the reserve. 
    To qualify for the 2021 NOEC credit you only need to meet one of the following conditions:
    • rent for your principal residence (see question 9) in Northern Ontario was paid by or for you
    • property tax for your principal residence in Northern Ontario was paid by or for you
    • you lived on a reserve in Northern Ontario and home energy costs (for example, electricity, heat) were paid for your principal residence on the reserve by or for you or
    • you lived in a public or non-profit long-term care home in Northern Ontario and an amount for accommodation was paid by or for you

    Since you pay property taxes this qualifies you for this credit.
