Virtual Fax

Canadian Virtual Fax for Business

Exchange business documents without a dedicated fax machine, paper or analogue phone line. IXICA Virtual Fax supports faxing through a web portal, email or API, with fax documents stored in Canada. Built for workflows in healthcare, pharmacy, legal and financial services, our virtual fax options include unlimited users and unlimited fax pages to eligible Canadian and US destinations.* Confirm the plan, security settings and contractual requirements appropriate for your organization. *Subject to IXICA’s Fair Use Policy and applicable plan terms.

Privacy and Healthcare Requirements

  • HIPAA Support, with a BAA Available on Request

    HIPAA support depends on your configuration, agreements and how the service is used. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available on request. Using virtual fax alone does not establish compliance.

  • PIPEDA and PHIPA Support

    PIPEDA and PHIPA support depends on your configuration, agreements and how the service is used. Using virtual fax alone does not establish compliance.

  • Canadian Fax Storage

    Faxes sent and received through IXICA virtual fax are stored in Canada, subject to the features and configuration you use.

Fax API for Developers and Platforms

The IXICA Fax API gives developers a way to add faxing to an application or platform. HIPAA, PIPEDA and PHIPA support depends on configuration, agreements and how the service is used.

  • Send faxes automatically from your software
  • Receive incoming faxes and route them into your system
  • Track delivery status and confirmations for every transmission
  • Send PDFs, Word documents, images and other common file formats, with automatic conversion
  • Scale from a handful of faxes to high-volume traffic

Software companies and platform providers can offer faxing as a feature of their own product, with no fax infrastructure to build or maintain. HIPAA, PIPEDA and PHIPA support depends on configuration, agreements and how the service is used.
