Legal and Administrative BAC Limits
In Canada, the Criminal Code BAC limit is .08%. This is the level at which Criminal Code impaired driving charges can be laid.
It is important to realize, though, that even small amounts of alcohol can impair driving ability.
That is why just about every province and territory in Canada has administrative laws for drivers whose BACs are .05% and over. Drivers at these levels do not face criminal impaired driving charges, but they are subject to licence suspensions ranging from 24 hours to 7 days depending on the province or territory. Provincial administrative licence suspension programs also include escalating suspensions for repeat infractions, vehicle impoundments, education and remedial program requirements and alcohol ignition interlocks.
