About Cybertip.ca

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection is a national charitable organization dedicated to the personal safety of all children. Our goal is to reduce child victimization by providing national programs and services to the Canadian public. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection owns and operates Cybertip.ca, Canada's tipline for reporting the online sexual exploitation of children. The tipline has been in operation since September 26, 2002 and was adopted under the Government of Canada’s National Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet in May 2004.

When Bill C-22, An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service, came into force on December 8, 2011, Cybertip.ca was named the designated reporting entity under section 2. This federal legislation requires all persons who provide an Internet service to report any incident of Internet child pornography.

As Canada’s tipline, Cybertip.ca’s primary function is to receive and address online and telephone reports from the public regarding:

• Child Pornography (child abuse images and material)
• Online luring
• Child exploitation through prostitution
• Travelling to sexually exploit children
• Child trafficking

On average, Cybertip.ca receives over 700 reports and 75 000 page views per month. All reports that are in contravention of the Criminal Code (Canada) are sent to police for possible investigation.
