The Sinch Canadian Short Code Onboarding guide describes the process for onboarding Canadian short codes.
The process can be summarized in 3 easy steps:
STEP 1 - Apply for the code by completing the CTA Common Short Code Application Form. Or, download the PDF and submit it to ca.programs@sinch.com.
STEP 2 - Client provides payment via credit card or invoice to CTA to secure your application in time for the carrier deadlines.
STEP 3 - CA Service Implementation team will ensure deadlines are met, and program is ready for submission.
Timeline: 3-7 weeks end to end
Resources:
Note: The deadline to submit application forms to the CTA is every Thursday at 1:00PM (ET). The carriers review Application Forms the following Tuesday and decide if they wish to participate in the Short Code program.
