Parties can use the E-Filing application to submit their documents electronically at any time. However, documents that are transmitted electronically after 17:00 (Ottawa local time) are deemed to be filed on the next day that is not a holiday or a weekend.

All new user registrations, requests for assistance and processing of electronic filings will be handled during the Tribunal's regular business hours, Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 16:30.
