  • Engineering submissions for regulated equipment
     
  • Certification and Exam services, including:
    • Online application for examinations
    • Certificate reinstatement
    • Application for a certificate from outside Ontario

What this Means for Public Information Clients

  • Temporary system outage: To support the expansion of online services, TSSA will perform a system upgrade. Both the Client and Prepayment Portals will be inaccessible starting on Wednesday, March 11 at 4:00 p.m. EST until Monday, March 16 at 8:00 a.m. EST. Public Information requests cannot be submitted during the system outage.
     
  • New process for submitting Public Information requests: Starting March 16, 2026, clients will follow updated steps to submit Public Information requests through the Client Portal:

  2. Select ‘Applications’ from the navigation menu
  3. Click ‘Start an Application’
