OTTAWA, March 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Did you know that the Canada Revenue Agency's My Account and Employment and Social Development Canada's (ESDC) My Service Canada Account are now linked? With one user ID and password, you can securely access your information from both accounts without having to revalidate your identity!
Link between My Account and My Service Canada Account
The Government of Canada continually strives to improve its digital services so that Canadians can quickly and easily access their information and complete their online transactions. At the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), we're committed to making digital services fast, easy, and secure. The partnership between the CRA and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to link My Account with My Service Canada Account is part of this commitment.
Keeping your information up to date
The CRA and ESDC are also working together to help keep your records up to date. Now, when you update your direct-deposit information using the CRA's My Account or MyCRA mobile web app, your banking information will seamlessly be exchanged with ESDC.
