FAQ

The Chantier numériccq project
  • Why is the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) undertaking this digital transformation?

    The CCQ needs to update its obsolete IT systems. This project is therefore essential to ensuring our systems remain reliable and secure.

    We’re also taking advantage of the situation to improve the online services to make them more efficient and give you greater control over processes that you’ll be able to track more easily. These changes will also minimize the risk of errors and reduce paper waste.

  • What are the main advantages of the Chantier numériccq?

    The first phase of the project is scheduled to be launched in January 2026. It will significantly improve many features. For instance, you will be able to:

    • Log in to your client file on your mobile device
    • Use one user ID for all your accounts
    • Enjoy a simpler way to access your data
    • Benefit from an enhanced online monthly report
    • Streamline the monthly report process
    • Submit requests and follow up with customer service online
    • Take advantage of a more secure way to access the services 

    This step marks the beginning of a project that will evolve over time. New tools and features will gradually be added to continue to improve your user experience and meet your needs.

  • When will the improved online services be available?

    The improved online services are scheduled to become available on January 12, 2026.

  • Do I have to create a new account in January 2026?

    Yes. Starting in January 2026, every user will have to create a new account to continue to access the online services. It will also be required to submit the monthly report in the improved online services.

  • Why do I need to create a new account?

    Because the IT system will be overhauled, your account will not be transferred. By creating a new account, you’ll be able to log in to the new system. The good news is that the first time you log in to the new online services, you’ll be able to link your client file and recover all your information. Simple tutorial videos will guide you.

  • What if I don’t currently have an account for the online services?

    You have until December 3, 2025, to register for the online services in order to receive the security code necessary to finalize the process of logging in to your account before December 17. After this date, you will have to wait until January 2026 to create a user account.

    If you already made a request and received your login information, you have until December 17 to finalize your registration.

  • Will changing the IT systems have an impact on my regular services?

    In a large digital project such as this one, customer service response times may be longer than usual and technical adjustments to your file may be required. The customer service team will assist you to the best of their ability during this transition and additional support will be available. You will receive more information soon. 

    Most of your services will remain the same. However, they will be simplified thanks to new tools.
    A short transition period will be required because the layout will be different than the one you are used to, but some changes will be made progressively. Rest assured that we’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.

     
  • Will my personal information be secure?

    Absolutely. The CCQ uses advanced technology to ensure your personal information remains confidential and secure. In fact, our new system complies with all data protection standards in force.
  • What resources are available to help me use the improved online services?

    In order to make the transition easy, we’re providing you with the following:

  • Will these changes also affect employers?

    Yes. Everyone will have to transition to the new improved online services.
  • Can I use my mobile device to log in to the online services?

    Yes. You will be able to access your file using your mobile device.

    You will also be able to submit your monthly reports from a tablet or your computer.

  • What can I do to prepare for this change?

    To make the transition as smooth as possible, please make sure you:

    • Have your current user username and password to make logging in to the online services the first time easier.
    • Update your information in your existing file (email, address, phone number, associations, authorizations).
    • Employers: you have until December 17 to submit a form or visit one of our regional offices to add an authorized person to your account.
     
Modernized monthly report
  • Why is the CCQ updating the monthly report?

    The monthly report is an essential tool for employers in the construction industry. The goal of this project is to make it easier to use, minimize the risk of errors, and optimize how the information is processed.

    By allowing users to have a clearer overview of the report and automating certain tasks, the monthly reports will be easier and quicker to fill out.

     
  • What are the main changes being made to the monthly report?

    What you can expect:

    • A more user-friendly interface for filling information
    • Automated calculations to minimize the risk of errors and omissions 
    • The option to save a draft, change it, and submit the report at any time
    • Real-time processing status
    • Data pre-validation with automatic warnings when errors are detected
    • The option to copy a previous report when filling out a new one
    • Easier archiving and quicker access to previous reports
  • When will the new version of the monthly report be available?

    The modernized monthly report will be available in your file January, 2026. Every administrative and regulatory change will come into force for that period. You will receive more information in the coming weeks.
  • Will I have to use the modernized monthly report?

    Yes, you will have to use it once it is launched. The modernized monthly report will be the only version available, and all monthly reports will have to be submitted electronically.

    The goal is to streamline the administrative and regulatory aspects. You can also use an approved payroll provider. Check the list of our approved partners.

     
  • How will this affect the way I manage my monthly reports?

    The simplified overview and automated features will save you a significant amount of time. Moreover, any errors will be detected prior to submission. In other words, the risk of mistakes and returns from the CCQ will be minimized.
  • Will I be able to continue using my accounting software or working with an accounting firm to submit my report?

    Yes. But make sure the accounting firm or software you use is in our list of approved providers.
  • Who will be authorized to access my monthly reports?

    Once you create your new user account and link your client file, you will be able to select who is authorized to access your monthly reports. As is the case currently.
  • Whom do I contact if I have a problem with the modernized monthly report?

    You can contact our help line for employers at 1 877 973-5383 or your employer association.

    Videos will also be available on the Chantier numériccq website to assist you in completing or amending a monthly report.

     
  • Will I have to create an account in the improved online services to submit my monthly report?

    If you do not work with a services provider approved by the CCQ, you will have to create an account to submit your monthly report.

    Moreover, starting in January 2026, any changes will have to be made in the client file. Creating an account will therefore be mandatory.

Monthly reports for November and December 2025 postponed
  • Why are the November and December 2025 monthly report submissions and payments being postponed?

    • Regularly check communications from the CCQ to keep up-to-date and to obtain any support needed.
    • Use new online tools once they become available to make managing your monthly reports easier.
Online services temporary paused

    The online services will be suspended from December 17, 2025, to January 11, 2026, to enable us to transition to new IT systems.

    Customer service will be available the week of December 15 but will only respond to urgent requests on December 18 and 19.

    Our inspectors will be on duty as usual from January 5 to 11.

    MÉDIC online as well as the emergency medical service abroad and Construire en santé (PAE) will remain available during this time.

    Make sure you have your login information on hand because you will not be able to reset your password while the online services are suspended. 

  • Will my hours worked while the services are on pause be accounted for?

    Yes. Hours worked will be accounted for when the monthly reports for the periods concerned can be submitted in January 2026. Track your hours worked and keep your pay stubs until they become available in the improved online services.

  • Why can’t I create an account in the online services after December 3?

    You will not be able to create an account after December 3, 2025, because the process currently requires a security code to be sent to you by mail.

If you already have this security code, you have until December 17, 2025, to change your password. 
Administrative changes to the monthly report
  • Which statuses will disappear?

    Statuses M, F, and L will no longer exist. Instead, you must use statuses E, C, or regular, as the case may be.

    Concretely:

    • M (production machinery) and L (preparation hours) will become status A (voluntary contribution with benefits).
    • Status F (paid administrator) will become regular status (regular employee).

    For more information about the statuses, please consult the table here.

  • How do I manage banks of hours following the end of statuses R and S?

    These hours must be tracked by the employer and their employee.
  • Why are these statuses disappearing?

    Some statuses will cease to exist to make processing the report easier and to increase compliance.
  • When will statuses M, F, and L disappear?

    Statuses M, F, and L will cease to exist when the improved online services are launched in January 2026.
  • When will the status guide be updated?

    The status guide will be updated when the administrative changes enter into effect in January 2026.
Accounting firms
  • What will change for accounting firms with the launch of the improved online services on January 12, 2026?

    Effective January 12, 2026, your accounting firm will have its own client file. A contact person must be designated before December 12, 2025, to log in to the client file for the first time.

    Your client file will be linked to the employers that have designated your organization as their accounting firm. The employers linked to you and for whom you are authorized to act (e.g., submit a monthly report) will be grouped together in a single file. The purpose is to make follow ups and updating your file (contact information, members of your personnel, etc.) easier.

  • What are the advantages of having a client file in the improved online services?

    • Each member of your personnel will have an account and the ability to access your organization’s file and authorized files. This will enhance security for your clients.
    • An easier way to log in.
    • Information that is easier to find.
    • Greater autonomy to manage your information and resources.
    • The ability to easily submit and track requests with the CCQ online.
  • Who can be appointed as the designated contact for our new client file?

    A person who works for the accounting firm as a manager and/or activities coordinator. Once the Chantier numériccq is launched, the contact person will be able to authorize members of the firm to access the client file.
  • What will be the designated person's role once the services are launched on January 12, 2026?

    This new position in the accounting firm will play a key role in the success of the launch of the improved online services. The person designated will be the firm’s primary point of contact and will receive the information they need to log in once the services are launched.

    This person will also manage your firm’s authorizations.

  • I am the designated contact. What are my responsibilities?

    As the designated contact, you will be in charge of:

    • Adding or removing members of personnel in your firm’s client file.
    • Granting members of the personnel access to client files. 
    • Validating the list of employers converted by the CCQ to which you are authorized.
    • Whenever the firm receives authorizations from a new employer, granting access to the file to other members of the firm.
    • Managing the firm's personnel changes and granting authorizations for employers.
  • What happens if no one has been designated? Will I still be able to submit monthly reports?

    • Accounting software: the FC authorization number previously used to submit monthly reports will expire. To submit monthly reports, you will need to access your new account in the improved online services by entering your user ID and password. That’s why someone within your firm needs to be designated as the contact person; they will need to create a new account in January 2026. They will also need to link the firm’s client file and grant authorizations to other members of the personnel, if applicable.Validating the list of employers converted by the CCQ to which you are authorized.
    • Monthly reports submitted via the employer file in the online services: if your name is listed as a contact (secondary user) who is authorized to access an employer’s file, you will be able to log in to the account and submit a report via the improved online services. However, it is highly recommended you create a user account to log in to your accounting firm’s account because all the employer files will be grouped together in your authorized files. In sum, a single user ID and password is all that will be needed.
  • Do I have to register for each company?

    One client file will be created per company name and address. For instance, if you operate under the name Accounting Inc. and you have three (3) businesses operating under the same name, three separate files will be created.

    Another example: if you operate under two different names (ex.: Accounting Inc. and Accountants Inc.) with the same address, two separate files will be created.

  • Will there be any changes to how monthly reports are submitted?

    A new way to submit monthly reports will come into effect on January 12, 2026. Current authorization numbers for submitting monthly reports will no longer be valid. To submit a monthly report, you’ll need a user account in the improved online services as well as an authorization in the employer file.
  • Will the firm be able to use accounting software to submit monthly reports?

    Yes. But make sure the accounting firm or software you use is in our list of approved providers

    Other conditions:

    • be able to log in to the improved online services
    • be authorized by the employer to submit the monthly report
  • Will I have access to my clients’ files, or will the service only be used to submit monthly reports?

    By creating your user account and linking it to your firm’s file, you will have access to your file and your employers’ file for whom you are authorized to act. (A person from the firm must have granted you access to the employer file).

    Please note that if your firm provides site identification services, statements of account, and labour management for your clients, you will not be able to log in to them as a contact in the firm’s file. The persons responsible for these services must be added by the employer directly within their file (the firm’s designated contact must ask the employer for authorization).

    However, if these persons were already listed as contacts (secondary users) in the employer’s file, they will be able to access it by linking their file to their user account by clicking on “Utiliser mes accès des anciens services en ligne”.

  • Will my FC authorization number still work?

    No. The FC authorization number will no longer be valid. To submit a monthly report via authorized accounting software, you will first have to make sure you are added as a contact in the employer file.

    You will then have to log in to your user account in the improved online services with your user ID and password.

  • If I work for an accounting firm, how can I log in once the services are launched?

    Your firm’s designated contact will add you to the list of persons authorized to access the firm’s file. You will receive the details by email. You will then have to create a user account in the online services and link your firm’s file. 

    Make sure all your employer files appear in “Mes dossiers autorisés”. If any are missing, contact the person designated.

  • If my accounting firm has not designated a contact person, what do we do?

    If no one has been designated as a contact person in your accounting firm, you will have to contact customer service to notify us who is the designated contact (number for employers: 1 877 973-5383).
  • Where can I get support?

    You’ll find all the support you need at chantiernumericcq.org: 

    You can also contact the dedicated number for employers: 1 877 973-5383
