Export Controls Online (EXCOL)

EXCOL System Requirements:

Because EXCOL is a web-based application that runs under the Government of Canada’s “Secure Channel”, the system requirements are standard and quite simple.

Your computer’s browser environment must meet one of the following requirements:

• Internet Explorer 5.5, 6.0 or 6.1; or
• Netscape 8.0 International

with one of the following versions of MS Windows:

• Microsoft Windows NT 4 SP4 and higher;
• 2000 Professional SP3 Millennium edition;
• XP Home edition; or
• XP Professional edition.

If you use a Macintosh, the operating system must be one of:

• OS 8.6, 9.x; or
• OSX in OS9 emulation.

In order to support the epass login via Secure Channel, which must install a small Java applet on the PC, your system must have:

• Sun Java Runtime Environment V. 1.4.2_01 or higher.
• You can download the most current Sun Java.
• To determine which version you have, click the <Verify Installation> button from Step 3 on that page, and let it run – it will tell you what is already installed.

Standard letters can be generated in any of the following formats:

• Microsoft Word (.DOC)
• Microsoft Excel (.XLS).
• Adobe Acrobat’s Portable Document Format (.PDF)
