Service Canada's Web site has been developed in accordance with the Government of Canada’s Common Look and Feel Guidelines.
While accessibility is a priority for Service Canada, some links found on Service Canada's Web site lead to other organizations. Service Canada cannot guarantee that all of these external sites are accessible to all users of assistive technologies.
Note: An external site is defined as any Web site that does not begin with servicecanada.gc.ca or www1.servicecanada.gc.ca.

If you select “Printable Version” on any page, it will take you to a printable version with the same content but without any of the navigation menus from the top, left and right of the page.
