Application checklist for licensees

Before applying for a Canadian Grain Commission licence, you must first complete a Mode of Operations questionnaire and mail it to the Licensing and Security Unit. Canadian Grain Commission staff will then determine whether or not you should be licensed, and if so, which type of licence you should hold: grain dealer; primary elevator; process elevator or transfer elevator. You will be contacted about the Canadian Grain Commission's decision, then you can proceed with your licence application.

Use this application checklist to make sure you have completed and enclosed the pertinent Canadian Grain Commission forms and documentation before sending us your application. Mail in your forms and documentation as they are completed rather than waiting until you collect all the necessary information.
