Franchise Legislation

If you’re a franchisor operating in or expanding to Canada, you need to be familiar with provincial franchise legislation or your business and reputation could be at risk.

To help our members stay current on the latest laws and legislative developments in each province, the CFA has compiled all provincial franchise legislation, regulations, and consultation papers in one convenient portal that includes a detailed comparative chart to help you understand how the laws vary from province to province. Please note that external links to legislation and regulations are to government websites.

Don’t put your business at risk – get up to speed on Canada’s franchise laws now.
