1. Overview

The CCAA Online Filing System, managed by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB), allows monitors and monitor representatives under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) to create online filings.

      In the File Information section, the first field, Name of court, is marked as a required field. There is a box to type in the name of the court (12 Ottawa is given as an example), and there is a Verify button beside the field. Below that is Judicial district and Province, both of which the system will complete automatically when you type in the name of the court. The next two fields are also required fields: Court file number (123456 is given as an example) and Date on which order is made (the example uses the four-digit year dash two-digit month dash two-digit day format). To the right of the field is a calendar icon that you can click on to select the date instead of typing it in. The last field in the File Information section, Web page address created for the proceedings, is not a required field.

You can add the rest of the information at a later time by selecting the file number from the dashboard, finding the draft form in the file summary screen — in the Form Status column, it will say "Form is in draft mode" — and then clicking on the "Edit a draft form" icon (Icon of pencil and paper to denote edit draft form) in the Actions column. You also have the option to "Delete a draft form" (Icon of paper with red circle with horizontal bar to denote delete a draft form).
    Clicking on "Save as Draft" returns you to the CCAA Online Filing System — dashboard.
