Hi! Thanks for the question.

Lobby groups register as official lobbyists at the Registrar for the
Lobbyists according to the Lobbyists Registration Act.

Registrar for the Lobbyists Registration Act

66 Slater Street
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0C9
Telephone: (613) 957-2760 / (613) 957-2762
Fax: (613) 957-3078
E-mail: lobbyists.reg@ic.gc.ca

You could also register your lobby group online.

Lobbyists Registration System

The following types of lobbyists are allowed to be registered:

1. “Consultant Lobbyists are individuals who, for pay, lobby on behalf
of a client. They may include government relations consultants,
lawyers, accountants or other professional advisors who provide
lobbying services for their clients.”

2. “In-House Lobbyists (Corporate) are employees of corporations that
carry on commercial activities for financial gain and who lobby as a
significant part of their duties.”

3. “In-House Lobbyists (Organizations) are non-profit organizations
where the accumulated activity of all employees would constitute a
significant part of the duties of one employee.”
