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

Global Affairs Canada has opened the application period for the 2022 calendar year TRQs, starting on October 1, 2021 and with a deadline of November 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 two (or more) TRQs on the same application form.

The current Notices and modified application forms can be found on the Supply-Managed TRQs website.

The Notices 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.

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 2022 calendar 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.
