Forms for delisting applications, requests for particulars and certificate of mistaken identity

An individual or entity designated pursuant to either the Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA) or the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (JVCFOA) may apply to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to have their name removed from the sanctions list. Any person that owns, operates or manages a ship listed under the SEMA may also apply to the Minister  of Foreign Affairs to have the International Maritime Organization (IMO) number of the ship removed from the sanctions list.

To apply for the delisting of your name as a designated individual or entity, or for the delisting of a ship’s IMO number from the Consolidated Canadian Autonomous Sanctions List, complete the form below. Once submitted, Global Affairs Canada will assess the information and contact you directly if additional information is required. Processing times for any delisting application only starts the day the Sanctions Bureau receives all required documentation to complete the application, and no further information or clarification is required. Note that required information may vary based on the specific circumstances that apply. The department will contact you if additional information is required.

Designated individuals or entities, or their representatives (such as a legal representative, private individual, corporate representative, NGO or another representative), can also request information pertaining to their designation. These requests for particulars can also be submitted using the forms below.

Those who own, operate or manage a ship listed in regulations made under Special Economic Measures Act, or their representatives, can request information pertaining to the ship’s designation using the online form below.

Note: Any details, including personal information, provided in an application for delisting, a request for particular or certificate of mistaken identity, may be sent to the RCMP and other agencies or departments of the Government of Canada. These details are used to verify the identity of applicants and designated individuals, entities or ships, and to assess whether a designated individual, entity or ship meets the criteria to have their name removed from the sanctions list, as well as for the administration and enforcement of the sanctions regime.
