There are a few common reasons why you may not have received the confirmation email:

• The confirmation email may have been delivered to your Junk or Spam folder. Check your Junk or Spam folder to see if the confirmation email from no-reply@ontariosoilcrop.org has been incorrectly marked as junk. If the confirmation email landed in your Junk or Spam folder, you will need to move the email to your inbox before the confirmation link can be clicked on.
• The email address that you used to create your account is invalid. In creating a user account, ensure that your information is accurate and valid. You can request for the confirmation email to be resent to you by going to osciaportal.org, and entering in your email and password you used to create the account, under the Log In window. If your account has not already been confirmed, you will be given the option to resend the confirmation email.

To ensure you receive a confirmation email, add no-reply@ontariosoilcrop.org to your acceptable/safe senders list.

After following the above steps, if you still do not receive a confirmation email, contact us at portalsupport@ontariosoilcrop.org for further assistance.

As part of updating osciaportal.org to facilitate registration to workshops like Environmental Farm Plan, we have updated the system and as part of this update, to allow your existing user account to be accessible, we require users to update their password. Your account information will remain unchanged.

As part of system updates to support workshop registration through osciaportal.org, you may not be able to see previous enrolment and application submissions for the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. As further updates are made, this information will become visible at a later date.

If you applied to the Canadian Agricultural Partnership program through OntarioPrograms.net, this information is not available through the osciaportal.org.

If you applied to the On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) using a PDF application form sent to OSCIA by email or post, while you have not created a user account, in applying by PDF, your email address is tied to an existing enrolment and application submission. Using the same email address will result in a prompt from osciaportal.org to reset your password for that email address, which already exists in the database. Once OFCAF submissions are visible, you will have access to your OFCAF enrolment form to update, if necessary, and apply to future programs.

If you create an account using a different email address than what was used on your previous OFCAF application submission, you will not be able to create a new enrolment. A farm business enrolment in osciaportal.org must be unique. If you try to create an enrolment for a farm business that is already enrolled, you will receive a notification that your FBRN and/or legal business name are already in use, and you will not be able to complete the enrolment process.

If you are getting notification that your email address is already in use, but you have not created a user account in osciaportal.org or you did not apply to OFCAF, please contact us at portalsupport@ontariosoilcrop.org for further assistance.

The first step is to "Create an Account" from the osciaportal.org homepage using the same email address that you applied with under a previous OFCAF intake. When you initially create the account, you may not be able to see your previous submissions.

If you create an account using a different email address than what was used on your previous application submission, you will not be able to create a new enrolment. A farm business enrolment in osciaportal.org must be unique. If you try to create an enrolment for a farm business that is already enrolled, you will receive a notification that your FBRN and/or legal business name are already in use, and you will not be able to complete the enrolment process.

If you create a user account with a different email address and/or you are having difficulty creating a new enrolment for a farm business that you do not believe is previously enrolled, please contact us at portalsupport@ontariosoilcrop.org.

There are a few reasons this may be happening.

• If you have not previously created an account on osciaportal.org, you will need to Create an Account from the left side of the homepage.
• osciaportal.org is separate from OntarioPrograms.net, the portal used for the Canadian Agricultural Partnership and LEADS programs and past workshop registrations, and also separate from the OSCIA membership platform. You cannot use login information from one of these other platforms to login to the OSCIA Portal.
• If you have forgotten your password, see below for How do I reset my password?

You can request for the confirmation email to be resent to you by going to osciaportal.org, and entering in your email and password you used to create the account, under the Log In window.

The link given in the confirmation email must be clicked within 24 hours of the email being sent, or the link will expire.

• Click on the Forgot Password ➔ link on the osciaportal.org homepage under Existing User Login.
