Status of Specific Claims in Canada

A key goal of Canada's Specific Claims Action Plan is to bring greater transparency to the process so Canadians can judge for themselves how the government is delivering on its commitment to resolve these claims.

As a key part of these efforts, a public report has been created to help track the progress made as individual First Nation claims move through the process. The status of individual claims is updated daily in a searchable report.

Search the status report. To learn more about specific claims, please review the key definitions and Frequently Asked Questions.
