Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP)

The Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act came into effect on 1 July 1983. The acts provide Canadian citizens, permanent residents or any person (or entity) present in Canada the legal right to obtain information, in any form, that is under the control of a government institution. Info Source describes the TSB’s functions, programs, activities, and related information holdings that are subject to the acts.

Access to Information requests

Who can file a request?
  • You must either be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or have an address in Canada to make an Access to Information request. If you are a Canadian living abroad, you must provide proof of citizenship to receive the information you seek.
  • If you are not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, you can have a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident or someone with an address in Canada submit a request on your behalf.
  • Corporations, businesses and organizations with a Canadian presence have the right to make an Access to Information request.
Get previously released records
  • See summaries of access to information requests that have been released since February 2019.
  • Although the summary pages are available in both official languages, the records themselves are available only in the language in which they were created.
  • To request a copy of a previously released request, complete the form on the summary page you selected.
  • Because of the passage of time or changes in circumstances, the documents may have to be reviewed again. If that is the case, you will be asked to submit a new request under the Access to Information Act, as described below.
  • These are the definitions of the terms used in the summary pages to describe the status of the previously released requests:
    • All disclosed: All the records relevant to the request were disclosed to the applicant (i.e., without the application of exemptions or exclusions).
    • Disclosed in part: Only a portion of the information requested was disclosed because the remainder was exempt and/or excluded.
    • All exempted: No information was disclosed because all of the information requested qualified for exemption.
    • All excluded: No information was disclosed because all of the information requested qualified for exclusion under the Access to Information Act.
    • Does not exist: The information requested by the applicant does not exist.
How to make a new Access to Information Act request
  • Complete the Access to Information Request Form and follow the instructions on the form.
  • Clearly state exactly what information you seek.
  • Do not include your Social Insurance Number.
Cost of filing a new Access to Information Act request
  • You must pay a $5.00 application fee before we can begin to formally process your request. You can pay by cheque or money order payable to "The Receiver General of Canada."
  • A formal request gives you the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner concerning the processing of your request. The ATIP Office will advise you if there are extra search and/or preparation fees required to complete your request.
  • We can respond informally to your request at no charge, but you will not have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner.
