Are You Ready?

Not-for-profit employers can receive a wage subsidy up to 100% of the current provincial or territorial minimum hourly wage. Public and private sector employers are eligible to receive a wage subsidy of up to 50% of the current provincial or territorial minimum hourly wage.

If you are unsure whether you or someone in your organization created an account, or if your organization is already registered, please contact us. Initiating a duplicate account for your organization can cause delays in completing the validation process by Service Canada which enables you to become a fully registered user.

To create a GCOS account you will have to take note of your Organization ID and User Reference Number (URN) for future reference.
