If you are unsure whether you or someone in your organization created an account, or if your organization is already registered, please contact us. Initiating a duplicate account for your organization can cause delays in completing the validation process by Service Canada which enables you to become a fully registered user.

To create a GCOS account you will have to take note of your Organization ID and User Reference Number (URN) for future reference.
