Registration and Enrolment Instructions

To ensure the privacy of your personal information, a secure credential issued by Internal Credential Management (ICM) is required to access the Compensation Web Applications (CWA). This can be either an ICM ID-based certificate or an Online Profile. You can use the ICM ID-based certificate to access a variety of secure Government applications (e.g. Next Generation Secure Remote Access (NG-SRA), Secure email, file encryption, etc) including CWA. However, if you choose to use an Online Profile, your access will be restricted to CWA only.

ID-based Certificate Registration and Enrolment

To obtain an ICM ID-based certificate, contact your Local Registration Authority or departmental helpdesk. Additional information is available at the ICM Web site. Once you have obtained your certificate, return to the Compensation Web Applications page and login to complete your enrolment. Refer to the Enrolment Instructions to help you complete the process.

If you have an ICM ID based certificate, you may select an application to use.

Online Profile Registration and Enrolment

This is a multi-step process that will give you access to the Compensation Web Applications. If you have already created an account, you may select an application to use. If at any point you require assistance, click the help link associated with the item in question, or contact the help desk at 1-866-467-0337.

For technical problems with your computer or network connectivity, you should contact your local desktop support for assistance.
