Because adoptions are under provincial control, not federal, so the country didn't sign a treaty for policies they have no authority over. Link for more info.

Hey, thanks - I appreciate the education!

Oh, no problem. My first thought was, What is the Hague Convention, and why haven't we signed it? I was pretty relieved to find out it was just a jurisdicional issue.

Canada was just such a notable departure from the other countries listed that I was surprised. I'm glad it was just an issue between the feds and the territories and provinces and not something weird!
