Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP)

The Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act came into effect on 1 July 1983. They provide Canadian citizens, permanent residents or any person (or entity) present in Canada the legal right to obtain information, in any form, that is under the control of a government institution.

Access to Information requests

Who can file a request?
  • You must either be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or have an address in Canada to make an Access to Information request. If you are a Canadian living abroad, you must provide proof of citizenship to receive the information you seek.
  • If you are not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, you can have a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident or someone with an address in Canada submit a request on your behalf.
  • Corporations, businesses and organizations with a Canadian presence have the right to make an Access to Information request.
How to make a request
  • Complete the Access to Information Request Form and follow the instructions on the form.
  • Clearly state exactly what information you seek.
  • Do not include your Social Insurance Number.
Cost of filing an Access to Information Act request
  • You must pay a $5.00 application fee before we can begin to formally process your request. You can pay by cheque or money order payable to "The Receiver General of Canada."
  • A formal request gives you the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner concerning the processing of your request. The ATIP Office will advise you if there are extra search and/or preparation fees required to complete your request.
  • We can respond informally to your request at no charge, but you will not have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner.
