Canada
Voluntary, no mandate yet
Mandate Overview
The mandate
Canada has no mandatory B2B e-invoicing regime. The country operates a voluntary framework aligned with the international Peppol network, anchored by the Business Payments Coalition (BPC) and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). Canada became a Peppol Authority in 2022 and exchanges e-invoices voluntarily across federal procurement and partner businesses. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is monitoring international developments — including the EU ViDA package and US BPC pilots — but no mandate or definitive timeline has been announced.
