What OCN CSP users think . . .
Ontario Construction News is published daily and fulfills the regulatory definitions of a “Construction Trade Newspaper” under the Ontario Construction Act. Accordingly, your Certificate of Substantial Performance (CSP) notices and other notices required to be published in a construction trade newspaper can appear by following a simple two-step process.
1. Submit online or Email your completed form to
ce**********@*********************ws.com
Or
fax 1-613-702-5357
Then review and “sign off” on the proof. (We return your proof automatically for online-entered orders; for emailed/faxed orders, the proof will be sent once our staffer completes the keying process, usually within a few hours.)
If you don’t sign off or otherwise respond to the proof within two days, we’ll run the notice automatically the next business day.
2. When will it be published?
Notices received before 5:00 p.m. EDT (Monday-Friday) with approved proofs will be published the next business day.
Note: “Form 6” under the former Construction Lien Act has been renumbered as “Form 9” under the new Ontario Construction Act. The Certificate of Substantial Performance (CSP) is exactly the same — it just has a new form number.

New Ontario Construction Act provisions: Annual holdback form
The revised Ontario Construction Act includes a new mandatory form to report on annual holdback responsibilities. The government has not introduced the form yet, and it is unlikely to be needed until 2027. If you would like us to notify you when the form is available, complete this form and we’ll let you know when it is ready.
