Subject: Registration of CIK Telecom Inc. as a proposed full MVNO

Dear Jordan (Xiaojing) Deng:

On 29 March 2023, CIK Telecom Inc. (CIK) requested to be registered as a proposed full Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). Based on the information provided, and in particular the statement by CIK’s that it intends to meet the eligibility requirement for a full MVNO within 12 months of the registration date, CIK has been placed on the list of proposed full MVNOs, in accordance with the Telecom Decision CRTC 2015-496.

CIK is reminded that, as per the Commission’s policy set out in Telecom Decision CRTC 2015 496, within 12 months of the date of registration as a proposed full MVNO, CIK must clearly demonstrate to the CRTC that it meets the technical criteria of a full MVNO, as described in the Canadian International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Guideline.

In addition, CIK must demonstrate that it has concluded a wholesale full MVNO access agreement with a Canadian wireless carrier^Footnote1 . Failure to clearly demonstrate to the Commission that it has met the criteria of a full MVNO, as per the IMSI Guideline by 03 May 2024, will result in removal of CIK from the CRTC’s proposed full MVNO registration list.

In order to ensure that Commission staff has sufficient time to review a request to be registered as a full MVNO and determine that the criteria have been met before this date, CIK is required to request this registration and file all the necessary information by 19 April 2024. Instructions on how to request to be registered as a full MVNO is attached in Appendix A.

CIK is reminded that, depending on the telecommunications services it intends to provide, it may be required to register on additional lists or obtain a BITS licence. In order to determine this, Commission staff will be in communication with CIK to provide the necessary advice and guidance.

CIK is reminded that in order to remain on any of the Commission’s telecommunications’ registration lists it must comply with the appropriate regulatory regime and submit the required information via the Commission’s Data Collection System (DCS), on an annual basis. Failure to comply with the DCS requirements will result in the removal of CIK from all CRTC registration lists. As per Telecom Regulatory Policy 2019-354, entities removed from any registration list will be placed on the list of withdrawn telecommunications provider registrations published on the Commission’s website.

Yours sincerely,
