    Canadian carrier and regulatory specifics

    Canadian short codes are governed by the CWTA. CASL imposes some of the strictest opt-in standards in the world. Quebec-specific French-language obligations affect content for marketing categories.

    • CWTA short code application and brand approval
    • CASL express-consent record management
    • CRTC awareness on number ranges and identification
    • Quebec Bill 96 / French-language compatibility for marketing content
    Compliance & data

    PIPEDA and provincial privacy alignment

    We operate as a data processor under PIPEDA and equivalent provincial regimes (Quebec Law 25, BC PIPA, Alberta PIPA). Messaging metadata is treated as personal information with documented retention.

    • PIPEDA-aligned processing and breach notification
    • Quebec Law 25 cross-border transfer assessments
    • Audit-ready CASL consent log per recipient
    Routing & latency

    Routing and latency in Canada

    Traffic is routed via North American gateways with sub-second handoff to Canadian aggregators. OTPs typically land within 10 seconds end-to-end on healthy routes.

    • Primary gateway regions: US-East (Virginia) and Canada-Central (Toronto) where required
    • Multi-vendor failover across at least two Canadian-capable aggregators
    • 24/7 escalation aligned to Canadian business hours
