Au Canada, les contraceptifs d'urgence (CU ou "pilule du lendemain") sont disponibles à la pharmacie, mais ne sont pas en vente libre. Il faut s'adresser au pharmacien, même si aucune ordonnance médicale n'est requise. On les retrouve aussi dans les hôpitaux et CLSC.

There are some age restrictions when purchasing EC. As reported by the International Consortium for Emergency Contraception, " In May 2008, the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) recommended full OTC access for the LNG regimen with no age restriction. This recommendation is being applied Under Common Law; however, pharmacists have the discretion to restrict sale of EC if a woman does not appear mature. All provinces follow Common Law with the exception of Quebec, which follows Civil Code, and Saskatchewan."<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/canada/ EC Status and Availability: Canada]</ref>
