Accessible Canada Act Compliance Checker
Federal organizations in Canada must identify and remove accessibility barriers. Scan your site against the ACA technical baseline.
What is ACA?
The Accessible Canada Act (ACA), passed in 2019, aims to make Canada barrier-free by 2040 for all federally regulated entities. This includes the federal government, Crown corporations, banks, telecommunications, transportation, and broadcasting sectors. The ACA requires accessibility plans, progress reports, and feedback mechanisms. While the ACA itself does not name WCAG directly, the Government of Canada's own Standard on Web Accessibility requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA for federal websites.
Who Needs to Comply?
- Federal government departments and agencies
- Crown corporations and federal boards
- Banks and federally regulated financial institutions
- Telecommunications companies (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc.)
- Air, rail, marine, and interprovincial transport companies
- Broadcasting and cable companies regulated by the CRTC
