Telemarketer Registrations and Subscriptions

All telemarketers operating in Canada must register with the National DNCL operator. There is no charge for registration.

Telemarketers that are only making calls or sending faxes that are exempt from the National DNCL do not have to purchase a subscription to the National DNCL. Otherwise, telemarketers typically must purchase a subscription for the area codes where they intend to call. Fees are based on the subscription model of the telemarketers’ choice. The telemarketer must consult the National DNCL to ensure that these numbers are excluded from their call lists.
