Keyboard Shortcuts

Whether you use adaptive technology or just like to use keyboard shortcuts, these tips may be especially helpful. Please note that all browsers are different and support these techniques to varying degrees.

From Anywhere Within a Page

ALT+M: brings you to the start of the common menu bar at the top of the page. Tab once to go to the other language button, tab twice to go to the "Contact Us" button, etc.

ALT+1: skips the common and institutional menu bars (both top bars) and brings you directly to the left menu bar.

ALT+2: skips both the top and the left menu bar and brings you directly to the content of the page.

Forms

ALT+8: gives focus to the first form field on the page. Forms allow the user to interact with the Web site. A form could be one of three types:

  • A drop-down menu where the user scrolls through a list of options and chooses one;
  • A text field where the user completes information such as comments, name and address or e-mail address;
  • A check box or radio button field where the user chooses from a list of options and may be able to select more than one option. These fields are designed so that users can select any part of the corresponding text to make their selection

ALT + 9: activates the submit button. This is used when you provide information that will be submitted to the Department through the Web site.

ALT + 0: activates the reset button. This is used if you want to clear the information that you have already provided and start over again.

Hyperlinks on this Site

 The globe image represents links to an external site on the World Wide Web. The text that will be voiced when this symbol is present is "Web site outside the Government of Canada.”

PDF Files

Our goal is to make the information on this Web site accessible to all users and, whenever possible, we have provided a Web accessible version of our pages.

Some information on our site is presented in Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF files, by nature, are not always Web accessible. If, for legal or other reasons, we cannot offer an accessible online alternative to the PDF file, we will provide contact information so that site visitors may request the information in an alternate format.

If you wish to access the PDF files on this Web site, you may need to install a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader software. For a free download of Adobe Acrobat Reader visit the Adobe site. After installation, you may have to restart your browser for Acrobat Reader to work.

What to do if you cannot view information or page!
