AODA 2026 compliance report checker
The AODA compliance report is Ontario's accessibility filing. Businesses and non-profits with 20 or more employees must file one, and the deadline is December 31, 2026. Answer a few questions to see whether that applies to you, then work through a readiness checklist built only from ontario.ca guidance.
This page is about Ontario obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). It is general information, not legal advice. If ontario.ca and this page ever disagree, ontario.ca is correct.

What this tool does not do
It is a readiness check, not a filing, an audit or a certification. We don’t file your accessibility compliance report, scan your website, or make your organization compliant. A completed checklist here is not evidence of conformance with WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
Canada Compliance AI provides AODA guidance today, alongside tools for CASL, PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25. Our AODA accessibility scanner is planned for Fall 2026 and is not available yet. The free compliance check below covers CASL, PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25.
For the rules behind this check, read AODA compliance for Ontario businesses, or see what AODA requires of your website under WCAG 2.0 AA.
