Official Information

Sanctions related to Myanmar were enacted under the Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA) to respond to the human rights and humanitarian situation in Myanmar. On December 13, 2007, the Special Economic Measures (Burma) Regulations came into force. On March 6, 2025, the title of the Special Economic Measures (Burma) Regulations was changed to the Special Economic Measures (Myanmar) Regulations (the Regulations), to align with Canada’s current nomenclature for this country.
