Disclosure reporting to the RCMP under the Special Economic Measures Act

Every person in Canada and all Canadians outside of Canada must disclose the existence of property in their possession or control that is believed to be owned or controlled by a listed person under the Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA).

While the Minister of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the administration and enforcement of SEMA, as well as its regulations, one of the RCMP's roles under SEMA is to receive disclosures on property owned or controlled by a listed person and disclose this information periodically.

Since February 24, 2022, the RCMP has received disclosures reporting that:

• A total approximate Canadian dollars (CAD) equivalent of $185,087,067.78 of property in Canada have been effectively frozen and a total approximate CAD equivalent of $503,783,980.00 in financial transactions have been blocked as a result of the prohibitions in the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations.
• A total approximate CAD equivalent of $149,004.49 of property in Canada have been effectively frozen and a total approximate CAD equivalent of $393,591.84 in financial transactions have been blocked as a result of the prohibitions in the Special Economic Measures (Belarus) Regulations.
• A total approximate CAD equivalent of $78,908.00 CAD of property in Canada have been effectively frozen and the same amount in financial transactions have been blocked as a result of the prohibitions in the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations.
• A total approximate CAD equivalent of $1,465.26 of property in Canada have been effectively frozen and a total approximate CAD equivalent of $16,885.52 in financial transactions have been blocked as a result of the prohibitions in the Special Economic Measures (Haiti) Regulations.

These are the most recent figures available effective November 28, 2025.

The RCMP continues to receive disclosures in accordance with SEMA, including amendments to previous disclosures from reporting persons. As such, disclosure reporting provided by the RCMP is subject to change.
