  • If you receive a ‘User Not Recognised’ error message, we recommend you try the portal again later. It’s important not to register a CAO account as your application will not be accepted or reviewed.

  • Your full name and your CAO number should match your CAO application. Any discrepancies in your name and CAO number may lead to your application not being reviewed.
