Using the passport
Your Government of Canada (GC) Workplace Accessibility Passport provides a good place to document the barriers you might face as well as the adaptive tools and support measures that you need to succeed in your job. You will be asked to document the barriers and potential solutions in different work situations such as remote workplace, selection processes, or learning events.
For the Passport, a barrier is anything that prevents your full and equal participation in the workplace. A solution is any adaptive tool or support measure that will enable you to perform tasks effectively and efficiently.

Your Passport can support conversations between you and your manager about what you might need

Record the agreement between you and your manager about the workplace accommodation tools or measures to be provided
Avoid the need to renegotiate workplace accommodations when you change managers or organizations throughout your public service career
