Licences

One of the responsibilities under our mandate is to issue, renew and amend radio, tv and distribution licences. We also issue licences for international telecommunications that allow telephone users to make and receive calls outside of Canada.

Once a licence is granted, we follow up to ensure that the entity adheres to the various conditions set out in their licence. This process usually includes:

• Submitting a broadcasting licence fee return
• Surveys and Statistics

You can also:

• Apply, Amend or Renew a TV, Radio or Distribution Licence
• Apply for an International Telecom Services Licence (BITS)
• Submit a Broadcasting Licence Fee Return
• Find a report by broadcasting licensees
