Copyright takedown service in Canada
Canada’s notice-and-notice system forwards complaints but doesn’t force removal. We combine compliant Canadian notices with DMCA takedowns and search delisting so your content actually comes down.
Notice and notice, explained
When you send a notice to a Canadian internet provider or host, it must forward the notice to its customer and tell you it has done so. It doesn’t have to take the content down. Our Canada notice generator creates notices that meet section 41.25 and never include the settlement demands the law forbids.
How we still get content removed
- Most content Canadians see is on U.S. platforms, which remove it after a DMCA notice.
- Offshore leak sites get notices at their host and CDN; use the host finder to see where a site lives.
- Google and Bing delisting removes infringing pages from Canadian search results.
- For creators, leak removal and monitoring keeps re-uploads down.

How we remove content for clients in Canada
The process is the same everywhere; the notice is written for the law that applies to the host.
Send us the links
Paste the URLs where your content appears and a link to your original. A list of profile pages is fine to start.
We check the case
We confirm you own the work, check for fair use and find the right recipient: the site, its host or its CDN.
We send the notices
Each notice includes every element required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). If a site ignores it, we escalate to the host and search engines.
You get the report
A case report lists every URL and its status. On protection plans, we keep scanning for re-uploads.
Common questions
Not covered here? Ask us.
Does Canada have DMCA takedowns?
No. Canada uses notice and notice. Platforms based in the U.S. still remove content after a DMCA notice.
Can I demand payment in a Canadian notice?
No. Notices containing settlement offers or payment demands don’t comply, and providers don’t have to forward them.
Is fair dealing the same as fair use?
No. Canadian fair dealing covers listed purposes — research, private study, education, parody, satire, criticism, review and news reporting — and then asks whether the dealing is fair.
Did Canada change its copyright term?
Yes, to life + 70 on December 30, 2022, but not retroactively.
Found your content somewhere it shouldn’t be?
Send us the links. We’ll review the case and reply within 24 hours with what we can remove and how long it should take.
