# Do you provide data in Canada?

## Overview

Yes! Repliers covers almost all MLS® Systems in Canada. Whether you're building for a single market or looking for broader coverage, we have options to support your use case.

This article explains the two main paths to accessing Canadian real estate data through Repliers — regional MLS® access and the REALTOR.ca DDF® national feed — and outlines the compliance requirements you'll need to meet before getting started.

## Getting Started

Once you've confirmed your use case is compliant, here's how to get connected:

1. **[Create a free account](https://auth.repliers.com/en/signup)** — Sign up if you haven't already. You'll get sandbox access to explore the API right away.

2. **[Upgrade to production](https://login.repliers.com/dashboard/upgrade)** — Submit your licensing details: your agent's information, brokerage, and a description of your intended use. This is required for all Canadian MLS® feeds.

3. **Our onboarding team takes it from there** — We'll address your MLS® licensing application process and get you connected to the boards you need.

> 💡 **Tip:** If you're unsure which boards or plan add-ons you need, mention your target markets when you submit your upgrade request and our team will guide you.

## Two Ways to Access Canadian MLS® Data

### 1. Regional MLS® Systems (Deep, Complete Data)

Most Canadian markets are available through their respective regional MLS® System. This gives you access to the richest, most complete listing data available for that market — including active, sold, and historical listings, full property details, agent/member information, and more.

Examples of regional boards accessible through Repliers include:

- **TRREB / PropTx** – Greater Toronto Area
- **REBGV / Greater Vancouver REALTORS®** – Metro Vancouver
- **CREB / Pillar9** – Calgary and surrounding areas
- **RAE** – Edmonton and area
- **And many more across Canada**


### 2. REALTOR.ca DDF® (National Feed)

The REALTOR.ca Data Distribution Facility (DDF®) is a national listing feed managed by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). It aggregates active listings from participating MLS® Systems across most of Canada.

DDF® is a good fit if you need broad national coverage from a single feed. However, there are some important limitations to keep in mind:

- **Active listings only** — sold and historical data is not available through DDF®
- **Participation is voluntary** — not every board or brokerage opts in, so some listings may be absent
- **Data depth varies** — regional feeds typically offer richer, more granular data than DDF®
- **Quebec is not covered** — Quebec real estate operates under a separate system (Centris®)

## Before You Get Started: Compliance Requirements

Access to Canadian MLS® data — whether regional or through DDF® — is not open to everyone. MLS® Systems are member organizations with strict data licensing rules. You must have a compliant use case before Repliers can connect you to any feed.

### Who Qualifies?

MLS® data access is available to:

**Real Estate Professionals**
- Licensed real estate agents and brokers

**Developers, Agencies, or Vendors Working on Behalf of Real Estate Professionals**
- Technology companies or agencies hired specifically to build tools and products for real estate professionals

> ⚠️ **Important:** Having a real estate agent as a business partner, employee, or client does not automatically qualify your company for MLS® data access. 
The product or service you are building must be directly in service of that agent's licensed real estate business.

### Additional Requirements for Vendors and Developers

If you are a developer, agency, or technology vendor, looking to build a tool that will be sold to multiple realtors, you **must** obtain your own vendor license from the relevant MLS®.
