Closing Files

You can close a file when its processing is completed and when the final report has been sent to the financial institution.

Once closed, a file is removed from the list of your files. You can still consult it by launching a search with the Search for Files function, but the file must have been closed for less then 6 months. For more details on the searching options, refer to the Searching for Files section.
