All applicants must provide their company's articles of incorporation. This is to help verify company credentials and prevent fraud. Required documents are available via Service Canada or Revenu Quebec. This step must be completed with each new application.

As part of the basic eligibility process for new and existing clients, applicants must provide via the online platform a copy of their company's GST 34 return or FP-500-Z for Quebec based applicants. This is to more efficiently verify a company's eligibility. Required documents are available via Service Canada or Revenu Quebec accounts.

The amount from the following section of a company's taxes from the last completed fiscal year should be used:

• line 101 of the GST 34 return for most of Canad
• FP-500-Z for Quebec based applicants

For monthly and quarterly filters, please use the most recent 12-month period.

We do not grant exemptions to the annual revenue eligibility requirement for companies that:

• have not achieved revenues of $100,000 during their last complete tax reporting year (or during the last 12 months for monthly and quarterly filers)
• achieved revenues of $100,000 but do not have the required financial information described above (GST 34, FP-500-Z)

Companies that have not filed their reports or do not meet the revenue eligibility requirement should apply only after obtaining the necessary financial information.
