Message to Industry – Opening of the Application Period for the Dairy Year TRQs

Global Affairs Canada has prepared new Notices to Importers for the 2021-2022 dairy year TRQs, with an application period starting on May 1, 2021 and a deadline of June 15, 2021.

While there are no changes to existing ministerial allocation policies, many of the application forms have been modified allowing applicants to apply for multiple TRQs on the same application form.

These Notices can be found on the Supply-Managed TRQs website.

The Notices reflect previous efforts to simplify and centralize information and should be read in conjunction with the General Information on the Administration of TRQs for Supply-Managed Products and the Key Dates and Access Quantities 2021-2022: TRQs for Supply-Managed Products. Note that corresponding revisions have been made to the respective application forms, with several forms being amalgamated to simplify the application process for clients.

Changes to the TRQ application process resulting from COVID-19

Recognizing the continued impacts COVID-19 is having on stakeholders’ ability to conduct normal operations, Global Affairs Canada will continue to apply certain changes for the 2021-2022 dairy year TRQ application process.

On an exceptional basis, the requirement to provide an accountant's letter for the upcoming TRQ application period is waived. 

Moreover, given that access to certain Government of Canada facilities remains severely restricted due to COVID-19 measures, all TRQ applications are to be submitted electronically. The email address to which you must submit your application is provided on each application form and on our Contact Us page.
