If your verification is currently pending or in review, there is no need to reach out. A member of our team is handling it and will contact you if necessary.
As part of the AME-UP program, employers must meet specific eligibility criteria. To ensure compliance and equitable disbursement of stipends, both students and employers are required to undergo identity verification.
Identity Verification for Companies and Employers
Before being matched with participants, employers must verify their business and individual identity. During sign-up, you'll be directed to Persona to complete the verification process, including:
To complete these steps you will be required to:
Verify your Canadian Business registration including CRA or provincial business number
Confirm the registered address of your business
Complete a personal identification process with a selfie and government-issued ID
We recommend that you have these items available to you at sign-up so that you can enter the program as smoothly as possible.
If your business identity was verified in a previous cycle, you won't need to repeat the process.
