SIU2020

• The first step is checking your email for an invitation from SIU2020 to register and set up your new account. If you don’t see this email invitation in your inbox, please reach out to an SIU dispatcher and they will be able to send you a new invitation email.

• Once you see the email invitation in your inbox, please click the highlighted text ‘accept invitation’ to be taken to the SIU2020 website.

• Once you’ve clicked on the link in the invitation email, you will be taken to the SIU2020 webpage and asked to set your password. Be sure to create a strong password and do not share your password with anyone else.

• After setting your password, you will be prompted to fill out information to create your profile. Please follow the steps on the website and input as much information as possible. The first step in creating your profile will ask for your SIU Union Membership information, along with contact details and personal information.

• You will then move onto the second step in the profile creation process, which asks Members to input information and upload pictures of documents, including your medical certificate, passport, and any relevant courses and certificates.

• To upload a picture of your documents, Members will need to have documents in hand and will need to take a picture of the documents using your smart phone using the camera application found on your phone. You will need to leave SIU2020 to take a picture. Once the picture is taken, please return to SIU2020 and click ‘upload file’ and upload the picture of the relevant document.

• For help uploading documents, we’ve included a separate guide below. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to an SIU dispatcher at your Union Hall.

• Once you have gone through the steps to create your profile and you have uploaded all necessary documentation, your profile will now be complete, and you will be ready to use SIU2020.

• After you have completed your profile, you will be able to access the SIU2020 ‘Menu’ which will allow you to update any personal information, upload any new documents or certificates and check on registrations and job calls.

• Before you get started, make sure you have the documents you want to upload at the ready.

• The best way to prepare to upload a document to SIU2020 is to take a picture of your document(s) with your phone before logging into the platform.

• Login to your SIU2020 account after taking pictures of the document(s) you want to upload. Go to https://siu2020.seafarers.ca/users/sign_in . You can also find a link to login to SIU2020 at the top right of our main website (seafarers.ca) .

• Once you are logged in to SIU2020, click on ‘menu’ and then choose the type of document you wish to upload. You can select from ‘Documents’, ‘MED Courses’ and ‘Certificates’. If you have multiple different kinds of documents to upload you will need to do them each separately. Please note that to upload a copy of your passport, that section is located in your personal information, not in your documents section.

• After selecting the type of document you wish to upload, you will be asked to fill in the appropriate information regarding your document or certificate. You can then upload a photo of your document by clicking ‘upload file’.

• After clicking upload file, this should then open the pictures section of your phone. You will need to click on the photo of your document that you wish to upload.

• After successfully uploading your document and filling in the information, scroll to the bottom of the page and click ‘next’ or ‘save’. You have now uploaded a document to SIU2020! If you have further documents to upload, repeat the steps above.
