Access to Information Act

This form can be used by Canadian citizens, permanent residents or other individuals present in Canada, or corporations present in Canada, to file an access to information request with Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) under the Access to Information Act.

Step 1
To apply for information under the Access to Information Act, complete this form. Describe the information being sought and provide any relevant details necessary to help HRSDC find it. For information on HRSDC programs, please visit the following website:
Info Source Publications: Sources of Federal Government and Employee Information.

Step 2
Forward the access request to the Director, Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP), whose name and address appear below. Please enclose a $5 cheque or money order payable to the Receiver General of Canada. Alternatively, you can pay by credit card (VISA or MasterCard) by phoning the Access to Information and Privacy Division directly at 819-994-0416. You will receive a written acknowledgment of receipt that indicates the file number assigned to your request. The file number will appear in all subsequent correspondence. Note that, in addition to the $5 application fee, other fees may apply if the search for the information takes more than five hours or requires computer programming. If that is the case, we will notify you beforehand in writing, and you may then choose to accept the additional fees, narrow the scope of your request or cancel your request.
