Badminton Canada (BCan)
The badminton federation in Canada
Badminton Canada describes itself as the official governing organization for the sport of badminton in Canada. It is a member of the Badminton World Federation and of Badminton Pan Am, and it operates through provincial/territorial member associations (e.g. Badminton BC, Badminton Ontario, Badminton Alberta) which run their own rankings and programmes alongside the national ones. It runs national senior, next-gen, junior and para national teams, a coach certification pathway (NCCP) and technical officials/referee/umpire registration, national ranking lists (senior and junior) and a national tournament calendar, and organises events such as the YONEX Canada Open.
Getting a licence
Coach and technical-official registration is handled online via a third-party portal (isbglobalservices.com/badminton-canada); individual player membership/licensing is run through the provincial/territorial associations rather than a single national online purchase, and no national price is published on badminton.ca.
Competitions and rankings
From the federation’s own website and its international federation, checked in September 2026.
