A work entering the public domain in Canada means it is free to be distributed. It’s not just content from Canadian creators that this rule applies to, it applies to works of authors of any nationality or descent. This means there are distinctions in public domain databases between different countries.

As of right now, there is no exhaustive database of content that is positively in the public domain in Canada. Due to the nature of copyright laws, it is often the case that it is not identifiable by basic research whether or not an author has been deceased for an exact amount of years.
