The Government of Canada announced the upcoming release of the finalized regulations stemming from the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act.
The Act and its associated regulations achieve the following objectives:
- A good produced, used or distributed in line with the requirements of a province or territory will be recognized as meeting comparable federal requirements.
- A service provided in line with the requirements of a province or territory will be recognized as meeting comparable federal requirements.
- A worker licensed or certified by a province or territory will be able to work in a comparable occupation in federal jurisdiction.
This removes duplication and red tape across the country, strengthening our economy for Canadian workers, businesses, and consumers.
The Act and regulations will come into force on January 1, 2026. A user guide will be available in December 2025 to help businesses and industries better understand the changes.
