Your browserOperating systems and browsers Operating systems and browsersOnly clients with browsers that use 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 encryption can use these CRA epass services. If your browser does not have 128-bit SSL 3.0 encryption, you can either download a browser that supports this encryption or upgrade the one you have. We recommend using a fully supported browser to ensure there are no problems accessing our CRA epass services. Although other Web browsers may also function, the following have proven to work with these services:
If you still encounter problems with the supported browsers, you may need to enable your Java Virtual Machine (JVM)/JavaScript and/or Cookies settings. See Adjust your browser settings for more information. Downloading browsersIf you don't have a browser that meets the security standard, you can either download a complete browser package or upgrade the one you have. Note CookiesYou should also check that your cookies are turned on in your browser settings. All browsers are configured a little differently, so you should check the Internet options of your browser for ways to enable the cookie function. One of the ways we ensure that you continue to be identified and that we send the correct information during your online session is by using cookies. These services use cookies during secure sessions in order to manage client preferences such as language, and to ensure the integrity of the system. Client information, such as SIN, date of birth, line 150 amount, postal code or the CRA Security Code, cannot be viewed within the cookie. This means that someone reviewing your cookies would not be able to log in to these services as though they were you. Some cookies might remain on the client's browser in order to improve user experience (e.g. a language cookie is used to store the client's language preference). These persistent cookies will not store any identifying data. For more information, see epass Cookies. Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
What is a JVM? A JVM is a small piece of software installed by you on your computer to allow your Internet browser to interact with our Web site. A JVM is not a stand-alone program; it is part of the Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE). Apple's JVM is Java technology that is pre-installed on Macintosh operating systems. Why does epass Canada use a JVM? How does it work? Where can I download the proper JRE? Sun Java (Sun JVM), Microsoft Java (Microsoft VM), or Apple's JVMepass Canada uses a signed applet from Entrust Limited. This applet has been designed to enhance security. Depending on your virtual machine (Sun VM, Microsoft JVM, or Apple's JVM) you will encounter one of the following security messages. Do I have to accept the security message?Sun JVMWhen you encounter the security message shown below, please select "Always". Selecting "Always" means you will never encounter this message again.
