The AODA deadline is December 31, 2026.
If you're an Ontario business or non-profit with 20+ employees, you're required to file an Accessibility Compliance Report. Miss it, and you can face enforcement (not optional).
At 50+ employees, your public website and web content need to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA as well.
A few important notes-
1) A website compliant a few years ago may not be today. New plugins, template changes & updated functionality could introduce new accessibility issues.
2) Automated scans are nice, but they don't catch everything. Keyboard behaviour and form validation should be manual tested.
3) A compliant homepage isn't enough by itself. Contact forms, checkout flows, account areas and 3rd party plugins / apps can also cause issues.
We help outline what's involved and a sensible starting point for organizations preparing to file:
