How to Make an Access to Information Request or a Personal Information Request

Although forms exist for the submission of both access to information and privacy requests, using these forms is not required. You may submit your request in the form of a letter as long as you clearly explain what information you are seeking and under which Act.

There are no fees associated with privacy requests; however, an original signature is required. Access to information requests must be accompanied by a $5 application fee as prescribed by Section 7(1)(a) of the regulations of the Act. Payment may be in the form of a cheque or money order made payable to the Receiver General of Canada or cash.
