Sign-In Partner: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use your existing bank credentials to securely access various Canadian federal government services online.
The Sign-In Partner program allows you to use your existing online banking credentials to log into various federal government services securely.
Who it's for
This service is available to customers of major Canadian banks who already have online banking access.
What you get
Instead of creating and remembering a brand-new username and password for government websites, you can use your current bank login details to verify your identity and access federal digital services.
What it costs you
There is no cost to use this service. It simply utilizes the login credentials you already use for your daily banking.
The catch to know
A common concern is privacy, but it is important to know that your bank does not see your government data or any information you enter into government portals. The bank only confirms that you are who you say you are.
How to apply
- Navigate to the government service website you wish to access.
- Select the option to sign in using your Sign-In Partner.
- Choose your specific financial institution from the list provided.
- Enter your existing banking credentials to complete the login process.
