Halal Monitoring Authority
Canada (HMA)

Booth Number 3903

​For many years, Imams and Ulama across Canada recognized the need for a clear, consistent, and trustworthy Halal oversight system that could serve the growing Muslim community and the rapidly expanding Halal industry. In March 2004, the Jami’yyatul Ulama Canada (CCMT), a federally registered non-profit organization, took the initiative to better understand the landscape of Halal production and distribution in the country. A dedicated team was appointed to visit facilities across the sector, including poultry and meat abattoirs, further-processing plants, and various manufacturers and retailers.

Through this extensive review, it became evident that the community would benefit from a unified, transparent, and professionally managed Halal certification framework. Recognizing this need, the CCMT determined that establishing a centralized body with clear procedures and consistent monitoring was essential for supporting both consumers and industry stakeholders.
​
To fulfill this vision, the CCMT formed a steering committee tasked with creating a reliable, standardized certification and verification system that reflects the highest Shariah principles. This initiative led to the establishment of what is now known as the Halal Monitoring Authority (HMA Canada)—an organization dedicated to ensuring integrity in Halal production, supporting industry partners, and serving the Muslim community across Canada with confidence and clarity.
