NordVPN, a major virtual private network (VPN) provider, says Canada’s proposed “lawful access” legislation could lead it to leave the country. In statements reported by Canadian outlets, the company says it is reviewing the bill and evaluating how it would affect its ability to maintain privacy protections for users. NordVPN argues that complying with requirements under the legislation could force it to change its practices in ways that would compromise the privacy features it offers. The company indicates that, if the final bill requires actions that are inconsistent with its privacy model, it would consider relocating its services away from Canada. The reported comments focus on the potential impact of the bill’s obligations on VPN operations and user data protections, rather than on any specific enforcement action. Both reports characterize the company’s position as conditional—framed around how the bill is ultimately written and what obligations it imposes—rather than as a guaranteed or immediate departure.
