Fair Dealing Situations - Fair Dealing and Copyright in Canada

Case One - Research 

Under fair dealing, students can use and make copies of any works when needed for research. However, the excerpts copied cannot exceed 10% of the work, and if the research is to be published, either online or in print, the works used may not be included as this may not be considered fair dealing.

Case Two - Criticism

When reviewing or critiquing a given work, students may copy approximately 10% of the work, and may include portions within their work. As part of their work, the source and author's or creator's must be mentioned.

Case Three - Education

Depending on the type of work, anywhere from 10% to the entirety of the work may be copied for educational use only.


Case Four - Satire

Under fair dealing, students may communicate or and reproduce, in paper or electronic form, short excerpts (up to 10% of a given work, or the entirety of a single poem or artistic work) of copyright-protected works for satire purposes.
