Nunavut sets its rules under the Consumer Protection Regulations but does not publish the specific hours online. Yukon law sets no fixed hours and relies on a general harassment standard instead.
Most provinces and territories also ban calls on statutory holidays. Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador set no separate holiday rule.
If a collection agency calls you outside the permitted hours for your province or territory, file a complaint with your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office.
