Electronic Signatures in Canada
In Canada, an electronic signature is considered legally binding if it indicates the necessary intention to agree to a document signed electronically. To ensure consistency in electronic commerce, all Canadian provinces and territories, except Quebec, have implemented laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act (UECA).
The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) of 2000 encourage the use of electronic signatures in business transactions. Both UETA and ESIGN recognize that electronic documents and signatures have the same legal value as traditional methods of signing contracts. This means that electronic records and signatures cannot be dismissed solely because they are electronic. The Federal Rules of Evidence and the Uniform Rules of Evidence generally permit electronic records and their replicas to be admitted into evidence.

Legality of Electronic Signatures in Canada
Under Canadian common law, an electronic signature is binding, provided it communicates the necessary intention to be legally bound to an electronically signed agreement. To promote uniformity in electronic commerce, all Canadian provinces and territories (with the exception of Quebec) have enacted legislation based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act (UECA).
According to Canadian Law experts Baker McKenzie, "Provincial legislation adopting the UECA may modify its provisions".
