NAVIGATING THE ONLINE REGISTRATION PROCESS

Once you have a ONe-key account, you can create a client profile and begin to register an activity using the system.

The Client Management sidebarThe Client Management sidebar is the main navigational tool for the Natural Resources Registry. It is divided into 3 main sections: n My Profile: your online client profile (contact information, address, business details)n My Services: the record of your online registrations and activitiesn My Sites: the location of your online registrations and activities (if applicable)

Navigating the registration processMost screens provide the following options:n go to the next screenn return to a previous screenn cancel to end the sessionn save your work as a draft n a help button for resources to help you register

Timing outFor security, online sessions time out after a period of inactivity. If your session times out:n your work is not saved n sign in again with ONe-key

To avoid timing out:n gather everything you need before you startn save a draft when you need to linger on a screen

HOW TO REGISTER AN ACTIVITY

The My Services tab on the Client Management sidebar stores the records of your registrations. It offers 3 options: n create a new registration n open a draft (an incomplete registration)n review or update an existing registration

CREATE A NEW REGISTRATION OR ACTIVITYOnce you have a client profile, you may add your first registration or activity. Begin by choosing My Services on the Client Management sidebar.

Select an activity to register:n choose Create New Registrationn select the registryn pick an activity (if applicable)n for Notice of Activity under the Endangered Species Act, select an activity subtype (if

applicable)

Check your eligibility:n review the activity details and open the activity page to consult rulesn agree to the registry’s Notice of Collectionn answer a short eligibility questionnairen if you are not eligible, in many cases you cannot proceed with online registration;

cancel to escape

Describe your activity:n add the details and dates for your activity (if applicable) n select an existing Site or create a new Site (if applicable)n attest (swear) that you provided accurate information and will follow the rules of the

registryn review and edit your registration summaryn submit your registration

NOTIFICATION OF REGISTRATIONOnce you submit your registration, you receive:n a confirmation number n an email with attached Confirmation of Registration and an Evidential Record of the

information you provided in your registration

You are responsible for checking into other laws and bylaws governing your activity. Get any permissions, approvals and authorizations before you begin.

BEFORE YOU START YOUR ACTIVITY:Read your Confirmation of Registration carefully. You need to keep it for the duration of your activity as proof that you registered. You may also need to:n keep it on file at the address in your client profilen keep it on site during the activityn give a copy to agents and employees carrying out the activity

CREATE A NEW SITE (MY SITES)

A Site identifies the location or locations of the activities you register online. Some activities and registries, like the Notice of Possession, don’t need a Site. Others ask for one or more locations. Begin by choosing My Sites in the Client Management sidebar.

SET A SITE NAMEn name your new Site (e.g. Cottage, Building Site, Queen St. Bridge) n Site names can be changed in My Sitesn you may not be able to reuse Sites with active registrations

ADD NAICS CODES OR BUSINESS TYPE (business clients only)You may choose up to 3 NAICS codes. Pick codes that align as closely as possible with the business activity you will carry out at that Site. To find NAICS codes:n use the drop-down lists to search for suitable NAICS codes n select a code and add it to your Siten go on, or search again and add up to two more NAICS codes

Small businesses without a Business Number or CRA number need to enter their business type:n your business type is the description for your 6-digit NAICS coden if you don’t know your NAICS code, search for NAICS 2012 on the Statistics Canada

websiten use the search tools to look up your 6-digit NAICS code and the description that

corresponds to your business n type the description into the business type field on your profile

IDENTIFY YOUR SITE CONTACTS (business clients only)All contact information must be added through My Profile.

The Site Contact function can: n add a new site contact from your existing contactsn remove an existing site contactn set one of your contacts as primary

To add a new Site Contact to your available client contacts:n choose Edit Contacts, and add a new contactn fill in the required contact information (name, phone, etc.) n if you do this while inputting a new registration, save your registration as a draft first

Each Site needs one or more site contacts: n Site contacts may or may not be an organization’s main contact n you need to identify one Site contact as the primary contact n if there is only one Site contact, that person is automatically the primary contactn individual clients are automatically set as the primary contact

To select your Site contacts for a registration:n choose one or more names from the Available Client Contacts sectionn add them using the Add Client Contact function

ADD SITE ADDRESS(ES) Some activities and registries, like the Notice of Possession, don’t need a Site. Others ask for one or more locations, depending on the registry or activity.

If you create multiple locations, identify one as the activity’s primary address. For example:n Butternut Tree registrations record the location of the original butternut tree as the

primary addressn a second location identifies the replanting location

Each Site displays a list of its associated addresses:n select or change the primary address by selecting Set as Primary n remove an address by selecting Remove Address

8



Identify addresses using one of the following methods. Use the method that is most accurate for your activity. Google Maps can help you find the geo-coordinates of a non-standard address: n civic addressn surveyed addressn non-standard (unsurveyed) address

PREVIEW AND CREATE YOUR SITE Review the addresses you entered. You can go back to make corrections and additions, if necessary. When everything is complete and correct, create your Site.

MY CONTACTS

My Contacts, in the Client Management sidebar, is a bank of names that you can add to, remove and change. All contacts should have the authority to answer questions and discuss the administrative details of the activity with Natural Resources representatives.

ONe-key AND CLIENT PROFILE FAQS

Why do I need a ONe-key ID? Your ONe-key ID lets you communicate securely with online government services like the

Natural Resources Registry. Your personal information stays safe and confidential.

Do I need to have separate ONe-key and Natural Resources client profile user names and passwords?

No, you only need to maintain a ONe-key user name and password.

I already set profile recovery responses for my ONe-key ID. Why do I need to create one for my Natural Resources client profile?

Your profile recovery response reconnects your profile if you change your ONe-key user name or password.

What is a profile recovery response? It’s a question and a secret answer that identifies your client profile if you need to reset

your ONe-key user name or password. Your secret answer is case-sensitive, which means upper and lower case letters are not interchangeable.

If I change my profile for the Ministry of the Environment or another ministry, will it update my Natural Resources client profile as well?

No. Your profile information is not shared between ministries. You need to update each profile separately.

Can I use my business profile to register my activities as an individual? Can I use my individual profile to register my activities as a business?

No. You would need to create a new profile.
