As part of this initiative, the new NER online solution has been made available on our website. You can now use this solution to complete all the steps of the PCT national entry process. You'll be able to save drafts of multiple applications, which will be accessible for finalization and submission at your convenience. As well, once your application is successfully submitted and the fee is paid, you'll instantly receive a national entry date and Canadian application number!
Now that we've launched the NER online solution, you'll no longer have to submit national entry requests via our general correspondence form.
This new digital service is part of a larger IT modernization effort at CIPO with the goal of offering a modern, client-centred service experience through e-enabled services.
