Canadian ISED certification (formerly known as ICES certification), IC is the English abbreviation for Industry Canada.

Wireless products sold in Canada must pass IC certification. Therefore, IC certification is a passport and necessary condition for wireless electronic products to enter the Canadian market.

Regarding Canada's ISED:

On October 31, 2023, Canada notified ISED that the registration fee for wireless devices was facing an increase. These further price increases are considered after April 1st next year:

Starting from November 1, 2023:

New registration application: fee of USD750

Change application registration: fee USD 375

Starting from April 1, 2024:

New registration application: fee increased from USD750 to USD783

Change application registration: fee increased from USD375 to USD391.5

The ISED fee is based on the CPI [Consumer Price Index] and is expected to be adjusted again in April 2024, with an expected increase of 4.4%.

Please refer to the official subsequent announcement for specific details.

In addition, the device registration fee for ISED will incur additional taxes if the applicant is a local company in Canada, and this tax rate policy has been implemented.
