Padel Association of Canada (PAC)

The padel federation in Canada

Padel Canada (PAC) was founded in 1993 as a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association (a non-profit sports organisation), and is Canada's representative to FIP, the global governing body. It works with provincial associations (pages exist for Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec) to develop and promote padel nationally, and runs national competitions such as the Canadian Nationals, a ranking system, coaching, and a player-licensing system tied to the World Padel Rating (WPR) platform.

Getting a licence

A licence is needed to play official padel competitions in Canada.

All players competing in a PAC-sanctioned event must hold both a PAC Player Licence, priced at $20 CAD, and a World Padel Rating (WPR) account (via canada.worldpadelrating.com).
