10DLC registration Canada is a search that mixes two national systems. 10-Digit Long Code (10DLC) registration through The Campaign Registry (TCR) is a United States carrier construct for Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS. Canada does not use that same TCR 10DLC filing as its domestic A2P rulebook.
A Canadian business that texts US mobile numbers still faces US 10DLC rules on that US traffic. Canadian domestic traffic follows Canadian sender and consent rules.
Split the Traffic Before You File
Ask three questions:
- Where is the from-number provisioned?
- Where is the recipient handset?
- Which Campaign Service Provider (CSP) is sending?
US 10DLC A2P to US handsets needs TCR brand and campaign records. Canadian long-code traffic to Canadian handsets needs the CSP’s Canadian registration path, not a pasted US campaign description.
Do not file a Canadian legal entity into a US brand form unless that entity is the US sender the CSP is actually registering.
Consent Regimes Stay Local
United States marketing SMS is governed by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Canadian commercial electronic messages are governed by Canadian anti-spam law. One consent form rarely satisfies both regimes without counsel review.
Keep consent artifacts in separate stores when programs serve both countries.
What This Page Will Not Do
It will not treat TCR 10DLC as the Canadian national registry. It will not quote a Canadian fee table as a TCR fee. Confirm the live CSP guide for the Canadian product you actually use.
FAQ
Is A2P 10DLC registration required in Canada?
Not as the US TCR 10DLC product. Canadian A2P has a different registration conversation with the CSP.
Can a Canadian company complete US 10DLC registration?
Yes when it sends US A2P on US 10DLC numbers and can pass the identity checks the CSP and TCR apply to that brand.
