British Columbia enforces non-compete agreements under common law principles, evaluating whether the restriction is reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate proprietary interest. Courts apply a strict reasonableness test, and the burden is on the employer to demonstrate that the restriction is no wider than necessary in terms of duration, geographic scope, and activities restricted.
For Vancouver's technology, film production, mining, real estate, and cannabis industries, non-competes are enforceable when precisely drafted. B.C. courts are generally skeptical of broad non-competes and will void — rather than modify — agreements they find unreasonable. This makes careful, conservative drafting essential for Vancouver employers.
SignAI generates your Vancouver non-compete with B.C.-specific provisions — including conservative scope, proper consideration language, and governing law clauses designating British Columbia jurisdiction and the Supreme Court of British Columbia venue.

FAQ
Yes, but B.C. courts apply a strict reasonableness test. The employer must prove the restriction is no wider than necessary to protect a legitimate proprietary interest. Courts may void — rather than modify — overly broad agreements.
Generally no. B.C. courts tend to void unreasonable non-competes entirely rather than modifying them. Conservative, precise drafting is critical.
There is no statutory limit, but courts evaluate duration as part of the reasonableness analysis. Restrictions of 6 to 12 months are more likely to be upheld; anything beyond 2 years is heavily scrutinized.
For new hires, the employment itself is sufficient. For existing employees, fresh consideration — such as a raise, bonus, or promotion — is required to support a new non-compete.
Yes. Non-solicitation agreements are generally viewed more favorably by B.C. courts because they are less restrictive than non-competes. They prevent solicitation of specific clients without broadly preventing someone from working in the industry.
