How Canadian document types are scoped

For Canada, document selection is separated from the jurisdiction check. A demand, response, appeal, tenancy notice or employment complaint may require different content depending on the province or territory, the federal or provincial basis of the matter, and the body that will receive it.

Before a draft is treated as ready for use, the customer should be able to identify the parties, relevant location, forum, controlling decision or agreement, important service dates, requested relief and supporting records. Where a court, tribunal or agency prescribes its own form, that official requirement takes priority over a generic document format.
