The potential outcome of the review, which could range from Canada asking Tik Tok to take mitigation measures to even blocking the expansion, could add to the company's growing woes.

On March 13, the United States House of Representatives passed a Bill to force TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to divest its US assets of the app or face a ban.
