How to report spam

Canadians can report spam to the Spam Reporting Centre. Contact your local law enforcement if you have been threatened, are a victim of a crime, or fear for anyone's safety.

We are committed to reducing the harmful effects of spam and related threats.

Our goal is to help create a safer and more secure online marketplace. That is why we enforce what we call Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).
