Cancellation Red Cross: Easy Method
What is Red Cross
The Canadian Red Cross is a humanitarian organization that provides emergency response, health and safety training, community programs, and disaster relief across Canada. It operates nationally and in partnership with local training providers, stores, and donor services to deliver programs, goods, and charitable services.
How to cancel Red Cross
- Training (blended/in-class): Contact the Training Partner where you registered to cancel or reschedule; Canadian Red Cross - offered online-only or self-directed portions are non‑refundable and cannot be cancelled. See the Canadian course policy: Course Cancellation and Refund Policy.
- Web-only classes (redcross.org framework): If you purchased a U.S.-site web-only class, cancel within 48 hours of purchase for a full refund; after 48 hours refunds are not provided. Reference: Course Cancellation Policy (redcross.org).
- Red Cross Store orders: Cancel via the My Account portal or contact customer service before an order is shipped or processed; once shipped cancellation is not possible. See shipping & returns: Shipping & Returns.
- Recurring donations: Cancel at any time by contacting the Donor Contact Centre by phone at 1‑800‑418‑1111 or by email at WeCare@redcross.ca. Donations continue until you cancel.
- Postal cancellations: If you prefer written notice, send registered mail (e.g., raccomandata A/R) to the Ontario office at the address below and include registration/order details and your contact information.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a service or order, access to the related course content, digital materials, or store order processing is stopped according to the product type. For in-class or partner‑managed training, your registration is handled by the training partner and may be rescheduled or cancelled per their terms. For donations, cancellation terminates future recurring charges; past donations are not automatically refunded unless a specific refund policy applies. The Red Cross will retain records of transactions and communications for administrative and compliance purposes.
Will I get a refund?
Refund eligibility depends on the product: Canadian Red Cross online or self-directed training courses are explicitly non‑refundable. Certain web‑only classes (as described on redcross.org) permit a full refund if cancelled within 48 hours of purchase; after that no refund is provided. Physical goods ordered from the Red Cross Store may be returned within 30 days in new, unused condition for a refund to the original payment method (refunds processed within 7 - 10 business days). Digital materials (e-textbooks, downloads) and online self-directed courses are typically non‑refundable. There is no broad 14‑day cooling‑off right in Canadian Red Cross policy; refunds are product‑specific. For full details see the Canadian support article: Course Cancellation and Refund Policy and Shipping & Returns.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Under Canadian Red Cross policies there is no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off right; cancellations and refunds are handled according to the type of product or service. Consumer protection laws in Canada may provide rights in certain transactions, but the Red Cross’s published terms are more specific: physical goods may be returned within 30 days if eligible, online self-directed courses are non‑refundable, and limited 48‑hour refunds may apply to specific web‑only purchases. If you believe your statutory consumer rights under provincial law apply, consider contacting your provincial consumer protection office for guidance.
Customer experiences
Reviews are mixed. Many volunteers and staff praise the Red Cross for meaningful work, supportive colleagues, good work - life balance, and strong training. Others report negative experiences such as low pay for some roles, limited advancement, bureaucracy, and inconsistent customer service in individual cases. Some users have also reported problems with receiving certification after blended courses and with difficulty resolving issues through customer service.
Documentation checklist
- Order/registration number, receipt or confirmation email
- Course title, date(s), and training partner (if applicable)
- Payment method and last 4 digits of card (if needed for verification)
- Shipping or billing address (for store orders)
- Donor account details and recurring donation information (for donations)
- Brief reason for cancellation and preferred resolution (refund, reschedule, confirmation)
- Copies/screenshots of any previous communications with customer service
Common mistakes
Common errors include trying to cancel self-directed online courses expecting a refund (these are non‑refundable), waiting until after a store order has shipped to request cancellation, and contacting the Red Cross general inbox rather than the specific training partner or Donor Contact Centre. Another frequent issue is missing or incomplete registration/order details when submitting a cancellation request - this delays processing. Always check whether your purchase was handled by a third‑party training partner or the Red Cross store before initiating cancellation.

|---|---|---|
| Training via Training Partner (blended/in-class) | Depends on partner policy; Canadian Red Cross online portions non‑refundable | Medium |
