The Canadian Trademarks Office now is accepting applications for sound marks.

The application for a sound mark can be submitted only as a “paper” filing at the moment and should consist of the following:

1. state that the application is for the registration of a sound mark;
2. contain a drawing that graphically represents the sound;
3. contain a description of the sound; and
4. contain an electronic recording of the sound.

A link to the March 28, 2012 Practice Notice is provided here.
