6. What is involved in the electronic-signature process?

The entire process should be quick and simple.

• First, your email address and mobile phone number will be confirmed by your Interior Savings Representative
• Next, you will receive an email inviting you to electronically sign your documents by clicking a link provided within the email message
• As soon as you click to open the link, you will receive a text message to your mobile phone which will contain a secure one-time individual password
• In the e-Signature system, you will be asked to enter the password you were just provided - this is used to verify your identity prior to completing your document signing
• Next, you will be prompted to review our e-signature disclaimer
  If you accept the terms of the disclaimer, your documents will be presented for your review and signature
• The locations on the document which require your signature will be easily identified, and you will ‘sign’ by simply clicking on the noted areas.  Certain signing packages will also require a 'capture signature', where you will be required to "write" your signature in a digital format, either by using your finger (on touch screen enabled devices) or by dragging your mouse cursor.
• That’s it! Once you have completed all required signatures, you’ll receive an email with a link to your completed documents – you may access your documents and download or print a copy for your records for a period of two weeks 

7. Legally, is there a difference between an electronic-signature versus a physical-signature?

There is no legal difference between an electronic-signature and a physical signature.
 
This is supported by Bill 13 – 2001 Electronic Transactions Act, Uniform Electronic Commerce Act, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (2000, c. 5), and Secure Electronic Signature Regulations (SOR/2005-30) (Enabling Statute: Canada Evidence Act (R.S., 1985, c. C-5).
