If you are unsure whether you or someone in your organization created an account, or if your organization is already registered with GCOS, please contact us and be sure to include your Canada Revenue Agency business number in your communication. Initiating a duplicate account for your organization can cause delays in completing the validation process by Service Canada which enables you to become a fully registered user.
To create a GCOS account you will have to take note of your Organization ID and User Reference Number (URN) for future reference.

If you submit your application through GCOS, you will immediately receive an acknowledgement and a confirmation number generated by the system. This confirmation is considered the acknowledgement of receipt of your application. You will also receive a confirmation of receipt sent by email to the email address provided in your application. If you do not receive a confirmation number acknowledging the application has been received, your application has not been submitted. Please ensure to click “submit” before you exit your application.
Lastly, Canada Post has announced that a postal service disruption has begun on November 15, 2024, across the country.
