The rule is set to take effect today (April 14, 2015).

Canada recently adopted a new Anti-Spam Law (CASL), which will impact U.S.-based businesses that send electronic messages to recipients in Canada for commercial or promotional purposes. CASL went into effect on July 1, 2014. Unlike the general rule in the U.S., where a sender is free to send an unsolicited email as long as the recipient may “unsubscribe,” now, in Canada, the general rule is that a recipient must proactively “opt-in” prior to the message being sent. Failing to meet the new requirements of CASL can result in a fine of up to $1 million for individuals and $10 million for entities.
