Applying for a Canadian Grain Commission Licence

In order to determine whether or not you require a Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) licence as a grain dealer or an operator of a grain elevator, you must first complete a Mode of Operations questionnaire under Application and Reporting Forms for Licensees and mail it to:

Canadian Grain Commission
Licensing and Security Unit
601-303 Main Street
Winnipeg MB R3C 3G8

or fax to the CGC Licensing and Security Unit at (204) 983-4654

If it has been determined that, under the Canada Grain Act, you require a CGC licence, you will be notified. You must then provide the CGC with:

• Information about your company

• Your intended scope of operations

• Your legal and financial status

• Your ability to carry on business under the requirements outlined in the Canada Grain Act

• Official documents verifying that you have complied with specific conditions necessary for the issuance of your licence

This section guides you through:

• Completing the CGC forms
• Providing supporting documents
• Sending in the annual licence fee, application form and documentation

Please submit the forms as you complete them, instead of sending them all together.

Use the Application Checklist to check to see if you have gathered and compiled all the necessary information.

If you have any further questions about your application, contact the CGC at 1-800-853-6705.

Any information provided by you to the CGC is maintained in the strictest confidence subject to the Access to Information Act (Department of Justice Canada).
