The Verification Entity analyzes the data from the applicant to determine if the claim is adequately substantiated, or if additional testing is required.

If additional verification activities result in work that is not covered by the original verification contract, this work will be subject to a further verification fee.

The Verification Entity prepares a report on the results of the verification process, and submits this to ETV Canada for review, after which the applicant is provided with a copy. If the claim cannot be substantiated, the applicant may choose to modify the claim such that it is substantiated with the existing data. Alternatively, the applicant may also choose to conduct further testing to support the claim. If additional verification activities result in work that is not covered by the original verification contract, this work will be subject to a further verification fee.

The diagram below illustrates in greater detail the verification procedure.
