The Canadian Franchise Association is a Canadian nonprofit organization that supports franchising as a path for individuals to start their own business. Based in Toronto, Ontario, CFA functions as a hub for education, information, and connections within the franchise community, with roots dating back to 1967. It describes a network of more than 700 corporate members and over 40,000 franchisees, serving as the industry voice and offering programs and resources through its websites and events. The CFA advances the sector by advocating on issues affecting franchising, connecting people with opportunities, and delivering learning to strengthen the industry for both franchisors and franchisees. In April 2026, CFA participated in its National Convention where a member firm was recognized for reaching a five-year CFA membership milestone.
