Sanctions 101: Understanding Canada’s Sanctions Regime

Join us on April 15th for an informative presentation and discussion with the Global Affairs Canada Sanction Bureau on Canada’s sanctions regime.

Canada’s use of sanctions has significantly increased in recent years, particularly following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. As Canadian businesses increasingly look to expand and source internationally, understanding the potential impact of sanctions on their business activities can be of critical importance.

This presentation will provide attendees with:

1. an overview of Canada’s sanctions toolkit,
2. current sanctions measures,
3. best practices on how to conduct due diligence to verify sanctions, and
4. information on how to apply for a permit (if one is required)

If you wish to familiarize yourself with Canada’s sanctions regime prior to this session, please visit the Canada’s Sanctions website.
