Despite their legality, cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender in Canada. Legal tender refers to the currency that the government declares as official and that can be used to pay taxes and debts.

Private businesses, however, have the freedom to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. While some businesses may choose to accept crypto for their goods and services, it's important to note that this is done at their own risk.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the country's tax collection agency, does not accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for taxes. This means that taxpayers are required to pay their taxes using fiat currency, such as Canadian dollars.
