Accessible Canada Act
Canada’s federal accessibility law, covering federally regulated organizations such as banks, airlines, and telecoms.
The Accessible Canada Act sets a framework for removing barriers in federally regulated organizations. These include federal departments, banks, and certain transport and communications providers. It requires accessibility plans, a feedback process, and progress reports.
Digital technology regulations now reference CAN/ASC - EN 301 549:2024 for specified web pages, documents, and apps. The requirements and dates vary by organization type, size, and content. The Act's 2040 goal does not replace those earlier duties. See our Accessible Canada Act summary and the official digital technology guidance to identify the rules that apply.
