You must be honest in your application. The LGCA conducts background investigations on all applications as part of the licensing process. Failing to disclose complete and relevant information in the application forms will result in a more detailed investigation, longer processing time, and the possible denial of a licence.
Fee
Fees vary based on the type of supplies or service being provided. Annual licence and investigative fees are listed in Section J of the annual update form below. To apply, an application fee equivalent to the first year licence and investigative fees must accompany the application forms.
Fees must be paid in Canadian dollars; the LGCA will not accept foreign currencies.
Annual Update
Each year, suppliers and service providers must submit an annual update. Annual fees are due with the annual update. Failing to complete an annual update could result in the licence being suspended or revoked.
Suppliers and service providers also must notify the LGCA in writing of consequential information that may affect their licence with the LGCA or in any other jurisdiction where they are licensed. Consequential information can include, but is not limited to, criminal charges against the company or its principals, civil proceedings, suspensions or fines in any jurisdiction, and changes in shareholders.
