Under Canadian law, these activities are governed by the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), which came into effect in 2000, together with the SOR/2002-184 Regulations, which took effect in 2002 and formally established compliance obligations for financing and leasing entities.
These laws set out Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to prevent fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing by ensuring transactions are legitimate and customers are properly identified.
