hi, i am doing some reasearch on biohacking and i cant find anything on what ever biohacking is legal or not in canada. Please help !!!
Itās a branch within the field of body modification. And in most (if not all) countries, itās legally treated as such.
Maybe this will help you find clear references on the matter.
so i need to search on body modification? or you are saying thats its equally legal then percing
well i hope itās legalā¦
body mod, piercing, tattooing, itās all in the same boat.
Canada is very liberal with your body your choice. the legal stuff will fall on the installers/modders not the cyborg.

Usually itās a form of piercing, some locations have rules about what materials a body piercer is limited to using etc or implements etc
Itās not really a ābiohacking is legal/illegalā but they often will limit the piercing artist because they have to abide by rules in order to have a ālicenseā from the gov

ok thanks but do you know if the pegleg is equaly considered
ok thanks for your reply its really helphing me 
:
Thatās probably one of the most extreme examples
Definitely not a piercing needle, thatās going to be a scalpel and sutures which may change what umbrella it technically falls under
Are you planning on getting a pegleg? Or just doing research for some project?

The legality issue starts with cloning. As usual itās it depends. Iām not qualified to give legal advice, but an entity ācouldā bitch about copying their data/key.
As far as implants go I would imagine its not possible to ban self-installs but piercers can be prevented from things that require scalpel or stitches to install.
Weird that you start your research with legality though, I leave that until the end, and even then its optional

You should really do your own research but here is a 10 year old article about Canadian body modification. Article in the National Post

I know in Kansas itās illegal for piercers to implant a foreign object. No one I talked to would do it, went across the border to MO and itās legal, but they arenāt allowed to use scalpels, so my installer just bought some needles she could use to make the incisions instead lol
I could see Canada being similar where itās a more local issue. Maybe in one province the piercer can do it, the next one over might not.

Iām not sure of the legalities of microchipping but I live in Calgary Alberta Canada and in my city there is only 1 tattoo/piercing shop that I know of that does implants.
The 6 chips that I now have in my 2 hands were implanted by them.
Actually 3 of 6 chips (Xsiid, Xem and Xnt) were sourced directly from this place. The other 3 chips (NeXt, Xdf2 and Vivospark 2) I ordered from DT and had DT send the chips direct to the piercerās who for a small fee did the implants.
In the 3 or so years that I have been chipped I havenāt run into any other people other than my piercer that also had chips implanted.
Also I have not had any problems with importing chips or accessories into Canada either. From placing my order to arriving to me in Calgary is usually about 14 days.
