How to cancel the authorization I previously granted to a representative

Make note of each consent you give, so you can cancel them when they are no longer needed.

You can immediately cancel an existing consent by calling us at 1-800-959-8281 or by using the My Account service.

You can also cancel an existing consent by completing parts 1, 5, and 6 of Form T1013, Authorizing or Cancelling a Representative.

Your consent will stay in effect until:

• you cancel it,
• it reaches the expiry date you choose, or
• we are notified of your death.

Your representative may also request by telephone, in person, or in writing, that the consent you have given him of her be cancelled.
