Before using JOBEL, you must first get an ELOG key from the DFO and save it in the “ELOG key” field below.

General information

• You need to get your ELOG key only once.
• ELOG keys are different from GC keys.
• You need your electronic credential, which is either your GC key or SecureKey Concierge to get your ELOG Key. A GC key is a secure electronic credential used to sign in to various government services, such as the National Online Licensing System (NOLS).
• The DFO will revoke your ELOG key if it’s not used for more than a year.
• You’re responsible for your ELOG key. You must not share it with anyone.
• Once saved in your JOBEL, the “ELOG Key” field will appear empty. This is normal. For more information refer to chap 3 of your JOBEL user guide. To download the JOBEL user guide, click on the blue book on the top right corner of your JOBEL page.
