Accessibility
The goal of the Accessible Canada Act is to achieve a barrier-free Canada by 2040. It requires organizations to proactively identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility where Canadians interact with areas under federal jurisdiction, whether they be internal or external to an organization.
For FINTRAC, our aim is to be a model for accessibility by embodying accessibility, embracing it as a core value of our corporate culture, and leading by example.
Take a look at our plan that sets out how we will identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility in all that we do.

Provide your feedback
An accessibility barrier is anything that does not allow persons with disabilities to be included and take part in all areas of life and society. Barriers prevent persons with disabilities from taking part in the same way that persons without disabilities do. The Accessible Canada Act identifies five types of accessibility barriers:
- physical and/or architectural barriers
- technological barriers
- information and communication barriers
- attitudinal barriers
- systemic barriers
We want to hear from you!
Tell us about:
- your thoughts on FINTRAC's accessibility action plan;

- how FINTRAC can prevent and remove accessibility barriers; and
