Own survey by ai-toolfinder, last checked October 2026. Every figure is sourced on the tool profile.
What businesses in Canada should know
- Canadian vendors must disclose foreign transfers, and Quebec requires an assessment first. Canada has at least 29 federal, provincial and territorial privacy statutes. Under PIPEDA, supervised by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, organisations must tell individuals that data may be transferred outside Canada and may be accessible to foreign governments. Quebec requires a privacy assessment before personal information leaves the province. DLA Piper, Data Protection Laws of the World, Canada · as of October 2026
- Bill C-36 would replace PIPEDA and require assessments before data leaves Canada. Bill C-36, the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act, was introduced on 15 June 2026 and would repeal Part 1 of PIPEDA. It requires a privacy impact assessment before personal information is transferred outside Canada, and explanations for automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effect. Penalties reach the greater of 10 million dollars or 3 percent of global gross revenue. The bill is still at an early stage in Parliament. WeirFoulds, Bill C-36 and the future of Canada's federal privacy law · as of October 2026
- Canada has no AI act, and its June 2026 AI strategy announced none. The Artificial Intelligence and Data Act died when Parliament was prorogued in January 2025. The national strategy AI for All, released on 4 June 2026, announces no standalone AI statute. Safeguards are expected to come through several laws, including updated privacy and online safety legislation. Existing privacy, human rights and provincial rules apply meanwhile. Canadian Lawyer, AIDA replacement unlikely under new national AI strategy · as of October 2026

What HR teams in Canada should know
- Ontario requires AI disclosure in job postings. Since January 1, 2026, Ontario employers with 25 or more employees must state on public job postings if AI is used to screen, assess or select applicants, under the Working for Workers Four Act, 2024. The rule does not require explaining how the tool works, only that it is used. Working for Workers Four Act 2024, Hicks Morley · as of September 2026
- Quebec requires disclosure of automated HR decisions. Quebec's Law 25 has required, since September 22, 2023, that anyone using an automated system to make a decision about an employee or applicant, such as AI screening, tell that person, explain the decision on request, and allow a request for human review. There is no equivalent federal rule for the rest of Canada. Loi 25, aiGovernance.ca · as of September 2026
- Quebec employment contracts must be offered in French. Under Quebec's Charter of the French Language as amended by Bill 96, individual employment contracts that are standard-form documents must be provided in French, or in French and another language at the same time, since June 1, 2022. The employer pays for translation if an employee asks for a French version. Charte de la langue française, Blakes · as of September 2026
