Business Registration Online – Register
As of May 13, 2024, the CRA no longer registers and maintains import and export RM program accounts. These services are now provided by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). However, if you don't have a business number, get it from the CRA at How to register for a business number or Canada Revenue Agency program accounts before contacting the CBSA.
