Practice: A right of Entry under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act is applied for on the Form 17 Charge, Notation or Filing by selecting “Right of Entry” in item 3 of the form. Right of Entry applications under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act are registered as a Right of Entry charge, because the effect of the order vests in the company title, interest or right in the lands. The application is subject to the fees set out in Item 2 “Charges” of Land Title Act, Schedule 2 (see chapter 31 (Land Title Act—Fees)).
