Electronic Filing of Documents with OSFI

Where documents are not required to be filed through the Regulatory Reporting System (RRS) or where, as may be the case for certain documents accompanying applications that require the authorization of the Superintendent, they must be both filed in RRS and submitted to OSFI directly, we would like to encourage plan administrators, custodians, and other pension plan professionals and service providers to submit these documents in electronic rather than paper form. Documents that may be submitted electronically include plan amendments, notices of non-remittance, and applications for approval. Where documents require signatures, OSFI expects to receive scanned versions of the signed documents. The email address to be used to submit electronic documents to OSFI is pensions@osfi-bsif.gc.ca.
