8.2.3 Uploading E-File Acknowledgment

The E-File is validated by FINTRAC E-Filing System and an acknowledgment is generated. Download the acknowledgments (.json file) from the FINTRAC E-Filing System.

The FINTRAC provides a sequence identification number but not the E-FIle number in the .json file.

To upload an acknowledgment into the OFS CRR CA STR application, follow these steps:

1. On the E-File List pane, click Upload Acknowledgment. An Acknowledgment window is displayed.
2. Enter the comments in the Comments box.
3. Click Choose File to upload the respective .json file saved from FINTRAC’s E-Filing System.
4. Click Save. A confirmation message is displayed.
5. Click OK. You are navigated back to the E-File List results.
6. After you have uploaded the acknowledgment file successfully into the OFS CRR CA STR application, the.json file can be viewed and saved from the Acknowledgment tab.
   To view the acknowledgment file, select a record and click Download. A file download window prompts to Open or Save the.Json file.

   Note:

   • If you try to upload an acknowledgment file for an E-File, which is already uploaded, a warning message is displayed.
   • If an uploaded acknowledgment action does not pass the validation check, an error message is displayed.
