ORCID-CA is the ORCID Canada Consortium. We provide Canadian institutions and organizations with premium membership to ORCID at a reduced cost as well as access to dedicated local and bilingual community support services, a community of practice, technical support, and outreach materials. Globally, there are 23 local and regional consortia like ORCID-CA, including in Japan, Australia, Norway, Brazil, the US, South Africa, and more.
The goals of ORCID-CA are:
- All active researchers in Canada will have an ORCID identifier (ORCID iD);
- Canadian researchers actively use their ORCID throughout the research lifecycle;
- The Tri-Agency will integrate ORCID with their grant management and CV systems;
- ORCID-CA is a sustainable organisation which has steadily grown its membership base;
- Publishers, granting agencies, and institutions across Canada will consider ORCID as the community-supported choice for a persistent identifier (PID) for researchers.

ORCID-CA was formed in 2016 with the support of a Canadian multi-stakeholder implementation group made up of representatives from these organizations and academic institutions. For more information on the formation of ORCID-CA, please read the ORCID-CA Joint Statement of Principles (2017).
