About multiple formats

The CRA provides its published products in multiple formats to allow persons with disabilities to access the information they need. We offer fully accessible forms, publications, and personalized correspondence on our website. We also offer the same products in audio, electronic text, Braille, and large print upon request.

Format types

Our products are available in the following formats:

1. Digital Audio (MP3) - Content is copied onto a digital storage media (e.g. compact disk) and can be accessed through a system capable of reading MP3 audio files.
2. Electronic Text - Content is copied onto a digital storage media (e.g. compact disk) to allow the user to access information through a computer connected to a screen reader.
3. Braille - Content is printed on paper using raised dots.
4. Large Print - Content is printed in large font size (18-point type).
