Frequently asked questions
Cancel The Globe And Mail: The Right Way
How to cancel The Globe And Mail and protect your refund rights in canada
Understanding The Globe And Mail subscription structure
The Globe And Mail is Canada's national newspaper, delivering comprehensive reporting on politics, business, culture, and international affairs through print and digital delivery channels. You can subscribe to digital access, print delivery, or bundled packages-each accessed via website, mobile applications (iOS and Android), or postal delivery to your home.
The critical fact is that The Globe And Mail operates multiple subscription channels with distinct billing systems and cancellation procedures. If you subscribed directly through their website or telephone, you follow one cancellation process. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform instead. This distinction matters legally because app-based subscriptions fall under Apple and Google's terms of service, not The Globe And Mail's alone.
The three subscription channels
The Globe And Mail accepts subscriptions through three separate channels: direct web and telephone subscriptions (billed by The Globe And Mail), Apple App Store (iOS devices), and Google Play (Android devices). Each channel operates under different billing agreements, which means your cancellation timeline, refund eligibility, and contact method depend entirely on where you subscribed. Yafee recommends you identify your subscription source before proceeding with cancellation steps.
Why you might want to cancel
You may be cancelling because the subscription no longer aligns with your budget, you prefer alternative news sources, or a promotional rate has expired and reverted to the full price. Regardless of your reason, understanding your legal rights and the correct procedural steps ensures you avoid unexpected billing charges and maximize any refund you may be entitled to receive.
Your legal position and consumer protection rights
In Canada, subscription cancellations are governed by the federal Canadian Consumer Protection Act and complementary provincial consumer protection legislation. Your rights differ based on whether you subscribed directly or through a third-party platform.
The 14-day statutory cancellation window
Under the Canadian Consumer Protection Act, you hold the right to cancel a distance purchase (including online subscriptions) within 14 calendar days of the purchase date or receipt of the product, whichever is later. This statutory right applies to The Globe And Mail's direct digital and print subscriptions purchased online or by telephone.
However, The Globe And Mail's standard subscription terms explicitly disclaim this right and impose their own cancellation conditions instead. This creates a grey area under Canadian consumer law: the company's contractual terms may conflict with your statutory entitlements. If The Globe And Mail refuses to honour a cancellation request made within 14 days of purchase, you can escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority-for example, Consumer Protection BC, Ontario's Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, or your provincial equivalent.
Your legal position: You have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days under federal law. If The Globe And Mail denies this right and refuses to process your cancellation or issue a refund, document all communications and contact your provincial consumer authority. Keep all cancellation confirmations, billing records, and proof of submission-these form your evidence in a dispute.
Refund entitlements and notice periods
The Globe And Mail does not issue refunds for subscriptions cancelled partway through a billing period. Refunds under CAD $5 are not processed. If you hold a long-term subscription (12 months or longer), The Globe And Mail requires 28 days' advance written notice before cancellation takes effect; they will not refund unused subscription time after that notice period expires. Short-term subscriptions (4 weeks or less) typically terminate at the end of the current billing period with no refund due.
For app-based subscriptions (Apple or Google), your refund eligibility is governed by Apple's and Google's policies, not The Globe And Mail's. Both platforms permit refund requests within 30 days of purchase if you request cancellation before auto-renewal occurs. Yafee advises you submit refund requests directly through the app store platform immediately after cancelling your subscription.
Registered mail documentation requirement
If you cancel a direct subscription and require documented proof that The Globe And Mail received your cancellation request, you must send a cancellation letter by registered mail (with delivery confirmation) to their Circulation Department. Retain the registered-mail receipt permanently-this creates a legally defensible record of submission date and proof of delivery. Without this evidence, The Globe And Mail may dispute whether they received your cancellation request.
How to cancel your direct subscription
Direct subscriptions (purchased through The Globe And Mail's website, telephone, or mail) require you to contact their Circulation Department directly to process the cancellation.
Step 1: gather your account and billing information
- Locate your most recent Globe And Mail invoice or billing statement
- Check your email inbox for recent invoices
- Log into your account on The Globe And Mail website and view your billing history
- Note your subscription account number (displayed on your invoice)
- Record your full name, address, telephone number, and email address exactly as they appear in your account
Step 2: submit cancellation via registered mail
- Compose a formal cancellation letter (or use a template) that includes:
- Your full name and account number
- Your billing address and telephone number
- The phrase: "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately" (or specify an end date)
- The date you are submitting the letter
- Your signature
- Print the letter on plain paper (no special formatting required)
- Place the letter in an envelope and address it to:
- The Globe And Mail Circulation Department
444 Front Street West
Toronto, Ontario M5V 2S9
Canada
- The Globe And Mail Circulation Department
- Visit your local postal outlet (Canada Post) and request "Registered Mail with Delivery Confirmation" (or "Registered Mail with Return Receipt")
- Registered Mail costs approximately CAD $12-15 and provides proof of delivery
- Inform the postal clerk you require a receipt showing delivery confirmation
- Retain all postal receipts, tracking numbers, and delivery confirmation-these are your legal evidence
- Allow 5-10 business days for Canada Post to deliver the letter
Step 3: confirm cancellation receipt by The Globe And Mail
- After delivery confirmation appears on the Canada Post website, wait 3-5 business days for The Globe And Mail to acknowledge receipt
- Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation from The Globe And Mail (check spam folder as well)
- If you do not receive confirmation within 5 business days, contact The Globe And Mail's Circulation Department directly:
- Telephone: 1-800-387-5400 (toll-free in Canada)
- Email: [email protected] (if available)
- Reference your registered-mail tracking number when contacting them
Step 4: verify cancellation and final billing
- Monitor your credit card or bank account for any charges after your cancellation effective date
- Your final bill will arrive by email or mail, reflecting the prorated amount due (if any) for the period through your cancellation date
- If you are entitled to a refund, The Globe And Mail will process it within 30 days to your original payment method
- If you do not receive expected cancellation confirmation or a charge appears after your cancellation date, escalate immediately (see "If The Globe And Mail refuses to cancel" below)
How to cancel your app-based subscription
If you subscribed through Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), you must cancel through the app platform itself-contacting The Globe And Mail directly will not cancel your app subscription.
Cancel through apple app store (iOS)
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your account profile icon (top-right corner)
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "The Globe And Mail" in the subscriptions list
- Tap "The Globe And Mail" and select "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" (Apple will show your cancellation effective date)
- You will receive an email confirmation from Apple confirming the cancellation
Cancel through google play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon (top-right corner)
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" then "Subscriptions"
- Find "The Globe And Mail" in the subscriptions list
- Tap "The Globe And Mail" and select "Cancel subscription"
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm the cancellation
- Google Play will send you a confirmation email
Request a refund for app-based subscriptions
- If you are within 30 days of your initial purchase and have not accessed the subscription, you may request a refund directly from Apple or Google
- For Apple refunds: visit reportaproblem.apple.com, select the charge, and request a refund before 30 days elapse
- For Google refunds: visit play.google.com/store, navigate to "Payments and subscriptions," select the charge, and request a refund within 30 days of purchase
- Both platforms process refunds to your original payment method within 3-10 business days
Refund timelines and billing cycles
Understanding when your refund will arrive and how billing cycles interact with cancellation is essential to avoid unexpected charges.
When you will lose access
| Subscription type | Access termination | Refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|
| Direct subscription (cancelled mid-cycle) | End of current billing period | No refund for unused time |
| Direct subscription (long-term, 28-day notice given) | 28 days after notice submission | No refund for unused time |
| Apple App Store (within 30 days of purchase) | Immediate upon cancellation | Refund processed to original payment method |
| Apple App Store (after 30 days) | End of current billing period | No refund |
| Google Play (within 30 days of purchase) | Immediate upon cancellation | Refund processed to original payment method |
| Google Play (after 30 days) | End of current billing period | No refund |
Refund processing timeline
If you are eligible for a refund, processing time varies by payment method. Refunds to credit cards typically appear within 5-10 business days. Refunds to bank accounts (debit or direct deposit) may take 10-15 business days. If you do not see a refund within 15 business days of your cancellation, contact your credit card issuer or bank to verify the refund is pending.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation disputes are avoidable if you know which mistakes lead to unwanted billing charges or lost refunds.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through Apple App Store but you attempt to cancel by calling The Globe And Mail's Circulation Department, The Globe And Mail will not be able to cancel your app subscription. You will still be billed by Apple at your next renewal. Always cancel through the platform where you subscribed.
Mistake 2: cancelling without documentation
If you call The Globe And Mail's Circulation Department to cancel your direct subscription but do not request written confirmation or send registered mail, you have no proof of submission. The Globe And Mail may claim they never received a cancellation request when a charge appears on your next billing date. Always obtain written confirmation-email confirmation or a registered-mail receipt.
Mistake 3: missing the 30-day refund window for app subscriptions
Apple and Google allow refunds only within 30 days of your first charge. If you wait 45 days to request a refund, both platforms will deny it. If you subscribed via an app and want a refund, request it immediately after cancelling-do not wait.
Mistake 4: assuming auto-renewal has been cancelled
Many subscribers cancel their subscription but forget to disable auto-renewal. When the billing period ends, the subscription auto-renews. For app subscriptions, cancellation and auto-renewal cancellation are the same step. For direct subscriptions, verify in writing that auto-renewal will not resume after your cancellation date.
If The Globe And Mail refuses to cancel or process a refund
If The Globe And Mail fails to honour your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to receive, you have escalation options under Canadian consumer law.
Step 1: document all communications and gather evidence
- Compile every email, letter, and telephone record related to your cancellation request
- Preserve screenshots of your account page and billing history (if accessible online)
- Retain registered-mail receipts and delivery confirmations from Canada Post
- Record the date and time of any telephone calls you made to The Globe And Mail
- Print or screenshot any cancellation confirmation messages you received
Step 2: send a formal written complaint to The Globe And Mail
- Compose a formal complaint letter that references:
- Your account number and subscription dates
- The specific date you requested cancellation
- The method you used (registered mail, telephone, email)
- The refund amount you claim you are owed
- The relevant Canadian Consumer Protection Act section (if applicable)
- Your request for a response within 10 business days
- Send this letter by email to [email protected] and by registered mail to the address above
- Save all correspondence for your records
Step 3: escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority
If The Globe And Mail does not respond within 10 days or refuses to honour your request, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection body. Each province operates its own consumer protection office:
- Ontario: Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (ontario.ca/consumer)
- British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC (consumerprotectionbc.ca)
- Alberta: Alberta Fair Trading Act Compliance (fair-trading.alberta.ca)
- Quebec: Office of the Ombudsman (ombudsman.qc.ca)
- All other provinces: Search "[Your Province] consumer protection office"
Yafee recommends you submit your complaint online or by mail along with all supporting documentation (invoices, cancellation requests, registered-mail receipts, and written responses from The Globe And Mail). Your provincial authority can investigate The Globe And Mail's billing practices and compel a refund if they find a violation.
After your cancellation: what happens next
Once your cancellation takes effect, you may be wondering what to expect in the days and weeks that follow.
Final billing and statements
The Globe And Mail will send you a final invoice reflecting any amount owing (or credit due to you) for the period through your cancellation date. This invoice may arrive 3-7 days after your cancellation date. If a refund is due, the issuing date begins from the invoice date, not your cancellation date.
Access and digital content
If you subscribed to digital access, your login credentials will stop working at the end of your current billing period or immediately, depending on The Globe And Mail's policy. You will not be able to view subscriber-only articles, use the mobile app, or access archived content. If you subscribed to print delivery, your newspaper delivery will stop on the date your subscription terminates.
Reactivating your subscription
You may reactivate your subscription at any time by contacting The Globe And Mail or subscribing again through your preferred platform. Promotional rates are not guaranteed to be available when you resubscribe, so clarify the price before confirming a new subscription.
Pricing and subscription cost comparison

| Family bundle (promo) | Variable | Multiple accounts | Moderate (requires direct contact) |
Key decisions: keep or cancel
Before finalizing your cancellation, consider whether keeping your subscription might align with your actual media consumption and budget.
| Factor | Cancel if: | Keep if: |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | Subscription cost exceeds discretionary spending | You regularly read 3+ articles per week |
| Content preference | You prefer other news sources or free outlets | You value The Globe And Mail's editorial perspective |
| Trial period expiry | Promotional rate has ended; full price is too high | You negotiated a longer-term discounted rate |
| Usage | You have not logged in for 30+ days | You access your account 4+ times weekly |
| Device access | You do not own the device type (iOS or Android) where you subscribed | You actively use the app on your primary device |
