Frequently asked questions
Do not create a new account. Creating a new account
will disconnect you from your organization and any work you have
already done.
- From the MyACOA sign-in page, select Sign in.
- Choose to sign in with your GCKey or your Sign-In Partner.
- Select Forgot your username? or Forgot your password? and follow the instructions.
Full guidance
If you lose access to your GCKey or need to use a different
Sign-In Partner, sign in using your new credentials and
complete the re-enrolment process.
Re-enrolment links your new sign-in credentials to your existing
MyACOA account and restores access to your organization,
applications, projects, and claims.
Re-enrol with a new GCKey or Sign-In Partner
Registering for MyACOA is a two-step process:
- Create a personal account using GCKey or a Sign-In Partner using your online banking credentials.
- Register a new organization with ACOA, or connect to one that is already registered.
We strongly recommend speaking with a Business Information
Officer before registering.
Once your account and organization are set up, sign in to MyACOA
and scroll down to the Project Applications
section. Choose + New Application, give your
application a descriptive name based on the project you'll be
undertaking, and follow the step-by-step form. You can save your
progress and return anytime.
Typical supporting documents include:
- Incorporation documents
- Financial statements
- A detailed project description
Full guidance on submitting an application
After your project is approved, sign in to MyACOA and navigate to
the correct organization for the project. Choose your project from
the list, then scroll to the claims section and select
+ New Claim. You will be asked to upload
supporting documents such as invoices and proof of payment.
Full guidance on submitting a claim
GCKey is a Government of Canada credential you
can use to access many federal online services.
Sign-In Partner lets you sign in using your
online banking credentials from a participating Canadian bank.
Either option works; choose whichever is easier for you and use
the same method each time you sign in.
