CAED software

New applicants must complete, sign and forward the CAED application form (PDF) to Statistics Canada by fax or mail PRIOR to downloading the Canadian Automated Export Declaration (CAED) software.

Current users do not need to complete the CAED application form when upgrading to a newer version of the CAED software. However, if upgrading the CAED software from version 10.00 or earlier, users should ensure Microsoft .Net framework 3.5 and the Microsoft Office Access 2007 Data Connectivity Components are installed on their computer. Once this has been confirmed, simply click on the link at the bottom of this page "CAED Software 2012 version 12.10" and follow the directions.

Always backup your CAED database before upgrading to the newest version of the CAED software.

Minimum system requirements

• Microsoft Windows 7 / VISTA / XP
• Microsoft .Net framework 3.5
• Microsoft Office Access 2007 Data Connectivity
• CD ROM Drive if installing from a CD
• VGA monitor or better with minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768.

It is strongly recommended that all users reviewthe Installation Guide prior to downloading the software.

The file "CAED2012_v12.10.exe" is an executable file. First, save the file into a temporary directory (i.e. c:\temp). Then, double click on the file name from your Windows Explorer and the installation process will begin.

For detailed information on how to use the software, consult the User Guide.

If already using CAED run the backup/restore function before upgrading, as a precaution.
