Details

EXCOL is an online system operated by Global Affairs Canada that allows exporters and importers to submit permit applications electronically. The system automatically grants certain types of permits when specific rules-based conditions — such as available import quotas — are met, without human review. Users should know that AI and automated decision-making are in use, but this is not currently disclosed to them at the point of interaction.
