Ad Standards preclearance is a fee-based, objective and independent advertising copy review and advisory service.

Ad Standards Clearance Service Analysts provide advertisers with the confidence that their advertising messages comply with applicable sectoral legislation, regulations, codes and guidelines. Review services are available in both English and French and are carried out by analysts who are experts in their respective fields and have extensive knowledge of advertising and communications. Each Ad Standards analyst is dedicated to working collaboratively, consultatively and responsively to help advertisers meet applicable regulatory requirements and industry guidelines.

All advertising and information we receive from a submitter is confidential, and we take this commitment very seriously. Read our Commitment to Confidentiality.
