Frequently asked questions
Is cold email to CFO contacts in Canada legal?
Conditionally. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is the most restrictive globally. Implied consent exists when an email address is conspicuously published for business use and the message is relevant to that person's business role. CASL violations carry fines up to CAD $10 million — document your consent basis, include an unsubscribe mechanism, and never send to a purchased list without verifying consent.
What reply rate can I expect when emailing CFO contacts in Canada?
CFO titles average a 2.2% reply rate in B2B cold email campaigns (Woodpecker Cold Email Study 2024). Adjusted for Canada market conditions, campaigns typically see a 2.8% reply rate. Sequence length, subject line quality, and personalisation depth all influence the final rate.

Quarvio runs SMTP verification immediately before order delivery — not at the time the database is compiled. This means each CFO contact is tested against the live mail server at the moment you order. Contacts that fail verification are replaced.
