According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, identity theft claims millions of victims across North America every year.
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Farm Income Programs Directorate is working to ensure you are protected when it comes to the release of your financial information.
The Privacy Act prohibits the release of personal information without consent except in certain specified circumstances; therefore, we are obligated to confirm your identity when you request financial details related to your account or application to one of our programs. To do this we will ask for specific information. This is for your protection.
You can help us by being prepared and having information on hand when you call.
If you are the participant, you will be asked for:
- Your full name

If you are an authorized contact person calling us regarding financial information on a participant's behalf, you will be asked for:

If someone calls on your behalf (for example, your spouse), but is not listed as a Contact Person, information cannot be released without verbal authority from you (the participant) to disclose the information or written authorization/permission.
