Publishing requirements

To make sure we publish your notice on time, follow our publishing requirements listed below. If you don’t follow these requirements, we may have to delay the publication of your notice or charge additional fees.

For security reasons, we do not accept notices sent by email. We also do not send proofs for approval; however, we always advise clients of substantial changes.

Non-federal government clients and clients from provincial and municipal governments

Clients are asked to submit a Request for insertion form for non-federal clients with each notice. Please indicate the name of the person we can call to acknowledge receipt of the insertion form and to confirm the publication date. Indicate clearly when you want to publish your notice and if an affidavit is required. If a translation of the text is unavailable, translation services are provided, at a fee, for certain types of notices. Call us for more information.

On your notice, include a signature block (name and title of the individual, or the name of the company which should appear at the end of the notice) as well as a date.

Please send the completed request for insertion form with the notice by fax at 613-991-3540 or by mail:

If you submit your notice on diskette/floppy or CD-ROM, follow these procedures:

1. Send one diskette/floppy or CD-ROM of the texts to be published.
   
2. Save the English and French text in two separate files. Do not compress documents. To create tables, use the software table option rather than tabs and spaces.
   
3. Along with your diskette/floppy or CD-ROM, send two printed copies of the English text and two printed copies of the French text.
