In a decision issued in April of this year, the Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") required
all telecommunications service providers ("TSPs") in Canada to
implement STIR/SHAKEN to authentic and validate IP-based calls
effective 30 November 2021.
STIR/SHAKEN is a set of protocols and procedures that are intended to
reduce caller identification ("ID") spoofing. Caller ID spoofing
occurs when callers deliberately falsify (or spoof) their caller
ID. This conduct undermines the ability of call recipients to screen
out nuisance calls.
