Create an account
Login requires a valid Basic BCeID or Business BCeID account. A BCeID provides free, secure access to multiple online government services and programs. Signing in using BCeID allows you to start, save, access, review, change, and submit program applications and claims.
Portal Sign in
Sign in to the portal with a BCeID or Business BCeID by clicking "Sign in" in the right-hand corner on this page.
Applications
Start a new application by clicking on the program stream that you would like to apply to. Your saved draft applications can be found on the 'My Applications' tab at the top of the page after sign-in. The system only allows for one draft application at a time. To start a new application, you must either submit or delete any previous drafts.
If you accidentally start an application for the incorrect program stream, you can access and delete the draft in 'My Applications' in the top panel. You can then start a new application in the correct program stream. Unsubmitted (draft) applications will be automatically deleted from the system in 60 days after program intake closes.
Claims
Claim forms for submitted applications can be accessed from the 'My Claims' tab at the top of the page after sign-in.
