Money laundering is a serious crime in Canada.

The Criminal Code of Canada defines money laundering as "a process that disguises the source or origin of money or other property that was obtained illegally." It is often associated with organized crime and drug trafficking but has also been used to hide proceeds from human trafficking, tax evasion, embezzlement and other crimes. Money laundering can be prosecuted in Canada under several different statutes, including the Criminal Code, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and the Terrorist Financing Act. The maximum penalties for money laundering include up to 14 years in prison and fines of up to $5000 if convicted.
