Key Points of Copyright Registration in Canada

Automatic Protection: Copyright protection in Canada exists automatically once an original work is created and fixed in a material form (e.g., written, recorded, saved digitally).

Eligible Works: It applies to original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, and certain other subject matter like sound recordings, performances, and communication signals.

Duration: Generally, copyright lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years after their death (extended from 50 years as of 2022). For certain works (e.g., sound recordings, anonymous works), different terms apply.

Registration is Optional: While not required, registering your copyright with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) provides a public record of ownership.

Rights Granted: Copyright holders have the exclusive right to reproduce, publish, perform, translate, adapt, or communicate their work to the public.

International Protection: Canada is a member of the Berne Convention, meaning works are protected in other member countries without requiring registration in each.

Application Process: Registration is done online via CIPO, requires basic details about the work and author, and involves a filing fee.
