*ELOG Key:
In order to submit your data to the DFO, the Government of Canada requires that you create a unique ELOG Key.
If you don’t have one already, there are two methods to generate an ELOG key, both described in detail on the DFO website found here.
-
- Option 1) Use a secure sign-in partner (such as your online banking sign-in, which you may have used to sign in to other government websites in the past.)
- Option 2) Using a GCkey.
Using a secure sign-in partner (Option 1) is our suggested method.
