New applicants must complete, sign and forward the CAED application form (PDF 27 kb) 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Current users do not need to complete the CAED application form when upgrading to a newer version of the CAED software. To upgrade the CAED software, simply click on the link at the bottom of this page "CAED Software 2009 version 9.00" and follow the directions.

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

Always install CAED upgrades to the same location as the previous version.

It is strongly recommended that all users review the Installation Guide (PDF 393 kb) prior to downloading the software as there have been many changes made to CAED version 9.00’s installation procedures.

The installation file for the CAED software is approximately 65 MB. Once the application has been installed, it should take approximately 15MB. The time required to download the software will depend on your modem speed and Internet connection.

The file "CAED2009_v900.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.
