Export Controls Online (EXCOL)

Exporters can use Export Controls On-Line (EXCOL) to submit applications for export permits and certificates, as well as request amendments. EXCOL also offers the functionality to submit online, quarterly utilisation reports for military goods, as well as the ability to print selected permits in your office.

Summary

EXCOL provides secure online access to Canadian exporters through the use of epass, the Government of Canada Secure Channel. The connection is fully encrypted from your computer to the server. EXCOL is a "Zero Footprint Application", meaning that nothing needs to be installed on your computer.

• attach electronic copies of support documentation.
