Electronic filing of documents with OSFI – Update

In the 2016 article on Electronic Filing of Documents with OSFI, OSFI encouraged plan administrators, custodians, and other pension plan professionals and service providers to submit documents electronically where these documents were not required to be filed through the Regulatory Reporting System (e.g. applications that require the authorization of the Superintendent).

Please note that OSFI no longer expects scanned versions of pen and ink signed documents and will accept electronic signatures on electronically submitted documents. OSFI has also posted several FAQs regarding Electronic Communications.
