Invasive plants are plant species that have spread outside of their natural habitat. They may be imported from other countries, or spread between different areas within Canada. As Canada's plant protection agency, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulates various invasive plant species under the Plant Protection Act and Seeds Act. These regulations restrict the importation of regulated species and commodities into Canada, and movement and sale within Canada. Field surveys and reported sightings are effective tools that help the CFIA obtain information about the species of concern. This guide provides information on how to identify species of concern in the field, and how to report findings. The guide is available in English and French.
