@Michael Katz Does this answer your question? If not would you spell it out for me and I will answer. 🇨🇦 In Canada Canada automatically grants copyright the moment you create and fix your work — no registration required.But you can register with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) for proof of ownership. It’s optional but useful evidence if you ever have to enforce your rights. - You don’t need to be Canadian. - Registration can be done online through CIPO. - You’ll receive a Certificate of Registration, which serves as prima facie evidence of ownership in Canadian courts. 🇺🇸 In the United States As mentioned earlier, foreign nationals can register directly with the U.S. Copyright Office.The U.S. is part of the Berne Convention, so authors from other member countries — including Canada — are eligible.Registration gives you access to: - Statutory damages - Attorney’s fees - The right to file suit in U.S. federal court No U.S. address or citizenship required. You can file directly online from anywhere. If you prefer, you can authorize a U.S. representative (attorney, agent, or trusted contact) to handle the filing — but ownership remains yours. They’re simply your authorized correspondent. So, yes: ✅ A Canadian (or any Berne-country citizen) can register both in Canada and in the U.S. ✅ You can file personally or through a U.S. representative. ✅ The benefit of dual registration: clear proof in both jurisdictions and stronger leverage for international enforcement.
