23andMe Canadian Settlement: Claim by June 25, 2026

The Canadian 23andMe consumer privacy class action has an active claim deadline: June 25, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. If you may qualify, start from the official Canadian settlement website or the claim form.

This is not the same as the U.S.-resident settlement deadline that passed earlier in 2026. The Canadian settlement covers eligible Canadian residents and has its own claim window, settlement website, court file, and compensation rules.

Who is covered by the Canadian 23andMe settlement?

The Canadian settlement covers individuals who were 23andMe customers at any time between May 1, 2023 and October 1, 2023, resided in Canada during that cyber security incident period, received notice from 23andMe that their personal information was compromised, and did not opt out of the Canadian Data Breach Settlement.

The settlement website identifies the British Columbia Supreme Court files as J.R. v. 23andMe Holding Co. et al., BCSC court file no. S-237147, and J.R. and M.M. v. 23andMe Holding Co. et al., BCSC court file no. S-246520.

How much can eligible Canadians claim?

The Canadian settlement website says the gross settlement amount is US$3.25 million, approximately C$4.49 million. Eligible Canadian claimants may receive two types of compensation.

• Extraordinary claims: up to CA$2,500 for documented, unreimbursed, out-of-pocket expenses incurred between October 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024 as a direct result of the cyber security incident.
• Ordinary claims: a pro-rated share of available settlement funds. The settlement website says eligible Canadian claimants who complete and submit a valid Canadian claim form will be automatically considered, without needing to provide further information or documentation.

The final ordinary-claim amount depends on the available settlement funds and the number of valid claims. All payments will be issued in Canadian currency.

What expenses can count for an extraordinary claim?

The settlement website lists examples of extraordinary expenses: costs associated with buying a physical security or monitoring system, costs associated with seeking professional mental health counselling or treatment, and other documented expenses incurred as a direct result of the cyber security incident.

For an extraordinary claim, gather proof before submitting. That may include receipts, invoices, statements, correspondence, or other documentation showing the cost, date, and connection to the incident.

Why the deadline matters

The Canadian settlement site says the claims period began on March 27, 2026 and will end on June 25, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. The Newswire notice also announces the settlement approval and claims process. Use the official settlement site for filing rather than social media links or copied claim-form URLs.

If you miss the deadline, you may lose the chance to receive compensation from this Canadian settlement. If you are unsure whether a claim was submitted correctly, use the settlement administrator contact information on the official site.

Canadian privacy context

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada said a joint Canada-UK investigation found 23andMe failed to implement adequate security measures, failed to properly investigate warning signs, and did not adequately notify regulators and affected customers under Canadian and UK laws. The OPC said nearly 320,000 Canadians were affected.

That privacy investigation is separate from your claim form, but it explains why Canadian readers may have received notice and why this settlement matters beyond the dollar amount.

How to file safely

• Use the official site: canadian23andmesettlement.ca is the settlement website linked from the notice and claim process.
• Check the time zone: the deadline is 11:59 PM Pacific Time on June 25, 2026.
• Keep records: save your claim confirmation, screenshots, and copies of any uploaded documents.
• Do not overstate losses: ordinary claims do not require extra proof, but extraordinary claims require documentation.
