What does "Protected A when completed" mean

[fl]

Hi,

On the below link it is a form. I do not understand the meaning of
"Protected A when completed". Could you explain it to me? Especially
the letter "A" points to what. Thanks.

SiteAdvisor says that that site is safe, so I looked at it. Those words
appear in large print in the upper, right corner for the form. I have
no idea what it means. If the site has a way to ask them questions,
ask. Report back.

Google reports 12600 pages with the whole phrase "Protected A when
completed", and all of the first 30 or so are in Canada, so it is
probably Canadian administrative jargon. Someone from Canada will know
what it means. As a pure guess, I think it might mean that once the
form has been submitted its contents cannot be passed on to third
parties.

This is a Canadian government income tax form. "Protected" probably
means the form is not subject to amendment after completion (cf.
especially its date, I should guess.) The CRA (Canada Revenue
Agency) may have more than one set of rules for what is "Protected."
Nothing prevents your asking, although the CRA often declines to
reply to queries that do not help it collect more money.

It's a Canadian form, so it's actually "Protected, Eh?, when
complete."
