How do I find out if my phone is on the National Stolen Device Blacklist?

The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) has created a public site that allows you to search for your phone’s IMEI to find out if it’s on the National Stolen Device Blacklist.

If you would like to see if your phone is on the National Stolen Device Blacklist, enter your phone’s IMEI number at: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

How do I find my phone’s IMEI?

An IMEI number is your phone’s ‘identity card’. It enables you to obtain your unlock code. It’s also an anti-theft provision by allowing you to block your phone in case it is lost or stolen.

Your IMEI number can be found:

• By dialing *#06# on your phone’s keyboard
• Under your phone’s battery, or on the supporting card that holds an iPhone’s SIM card 
• Printed on a sticker attached to your phone’s original packaging
