Welcome to the BizPaL - Online Business Permits and Licences Service.

This service provides a customized list of potential permits and licences from all levels of government that you may require to operate your business.  BizPaL asks you to answer a short series of questions about the nature and scope of your current or proposed business. Based on your answers, you will be provided with a customized list. Please note that all of the information that you provide is done so anonymously and you may save or print your results for future reference.

This service is the result of strong collaboration between the Government of Canada and participating provincial/territorial, regional, and municipal governments.

Every effort is made to provide you with correct and complete information regarding permits and licences; however, making sure that all required permits and licences are obtained remains the responsibility of the business person. If you notice any omissions or errors in the information provided on BizPaL, please contact us.
