How do I repay my advance?
Repaying your advance can be done
directly to CCGA by sending us a cheque or sending funds through your financial institution, or
indirectly through an authorized buyer. See below for when you need to submit Proof of Sale with your repayment.
-
Pay through your financial institution. You can pay CCGA directly through your financial institution, making repayments in-person, over the phone, or online. To do this, add “CCGA” as a Bill Payee, using your APP ID as your account number. If you have any questions about setting this up, call us at 1-866-745-2256, option 2.
-
Send CCGA a cheque. You can mail a cheque referencing your APP ID to the attention of the “Repayments Department” at
our Winnipeg office.
-
Pay through authorized buyer. For grain repayments only, you can request that an Authorized Buyer make a repayment to CCGA on your behalf, but remember that the buyer has up to 30 calendar days to remit that deduction.
When do I need to provide Proof of Sale and how do I submit it?
Proof of Sale documentation is required for all repayments, except:
- Grain and honey repayments made directly to CCGA and received before January 31 of the given program year (e.g. for a 2024-25 advance, the deadline would be January 31, 2025).
- Grain repayments made on your behalf to CCGA through Authorized Buyers, since buyers include Proof of Sale information with repayments.
