• Corporations, businesses and organizations with a Canadian presence have the right to make an Access to Information request.

• See summaries of access to information requests that have been released since February 2019.
• Although the summary pages are available in both official languages, the records themselves are available only in the language in which they were created.
• To request a copy of a previously released request, complete the form on the summary page you selected.
• Because of the passage of time or changes in circumstances, the documents may have to be reviewed again. If that is the case, you will be asked to submit a new request under the Access to Information Act, as described below.
• These are the definitions of the terms used in the summary pages to describe the status of the previously released requests:
  • All disclosed: All the records relevant to the request were disclosed to the applicant (i.e., without the application of exemptions or exclusions).
  • Disclosed in part: Only a portion of the information requested was disclosed because the remainder was exempt and/or excluded.
  • All exempted: No information was disclosed because all of the information requested qualified for exemption.
  • All excluded: No information was disclosed because all of the information requested qualified for exclusion under the Access to Information Act.
  • Does not exist: The information requested by the applicant does not exist.

• 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.

• 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.

You can send your signed request and any supporting documents by mail or email.

We will not begin to process an e-mail request until our office receives your signature.
