9 Best Canada Proxies (2026)

Canada is one of the most common locations people buy proxies for, and one of the most commonly misunderstood. Because Canada shares a border, a language and much of its internet backbone with the United States, it's tempting to treat it as "the US, but north". Websites don't. Amazon.ca, Walmart.ca, Canadian Tire and Best Buy Canada show Canadian dollar prices, Canadian stock and Canadian shipping options only to Canadian visitors. Google returns different results on google.ca than on google.com, and very different ones again in French for Quebec. Streaming services carry different catalogues, and a growing number of Canadian sites redirect or block US traffic outright.

If you need to see the web the way someone in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver sees it — to monitor prices, check local search rankings, verify ads, collect real-estate listings or run Canadian accounts — you need a genuine Canadian IP address. This guide compares the providers that sell them, with a focus on the details that matter for Canada specifically: how many Canadian IPs each one claims, whether you can target a province or city, which proxy types are actually stocked in Canada, and which Canadian carriers and ISPs sit behind the IPs.

Quick picks

• Best overall: Decodo — Canadian IPs on all four proxy types, a free trial and a clear 14-day money-back policy.
• Best for Canadian mobile and city coverage: ProxyEmpire — 556 Canadian cities and districts and named Bell, Rogers, Telus and Freedom Mobile networks.
• Best for province and city targeting at volume: SOAX — 911,280 Canadian IPs, all 13 provinces and territories and a long list of Canadian ISPs.
• Best for enterprise: Bright Data — Canadian residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter IPs with the strongest compliance paperwork.
• Best for city-level Canadian datacenter IPs: Oxylabs — publishes IP counts for 15 Canadian cities.
• Best for postal code and ASN targeting: Rayobyte — city, postal code and ASN targeting on Canadian residential traffic.
• Best for occasional use: IPRoyal — Canadian residential traffic that never expires.
• Best for cheap Canadian datacenter IPs: Webshare — 10 free proxies, then about $0.03 per IP.
• Best budget pay-as-you-go: DataImpulse — $1/GB and publishes live Canadian pool numbers.

The Canadian proxy landscape

A little background on how Canadian internet access works explains why some proxy offers are better than others for Canada.

A handful of networks carry most traffic. Home internet in Canada is dominated by a few incumbents: Bell (and Bell MTS in Manitoba) in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, Rogers in Ontario and — since it bought Shaw in April 2023 — in the West, Telus in British Columbia and Alberta, Vidéotron in Quebec, Cogeco in parts of Ontario and Quebec, SaskTel in Saskatchewan and Eastlink in the Maritimes. Smaller resellers such as TekSavvy, Distributel, Oxio, VMedia and EBOX run over the incumbents' lines. A good Canadian residential pool should show IPs from all of these, not just from one or two. SOAX and ProxyEmpire are the only providers in this guide that publish the Canadian ISPs behind their IPs, and both lists include the major incumbents and many of the regional ones.

Mobile IPs are relatively scarce. Canada's mobile market is concentrated in the "Big Three" — Rogers, Bell and Telus, plus their budget brands such as Fido, Virgin Plus, Koodo and Public Mobile — with Freedom Mobile (now owned by Quebecor, Vidéotron's parent) as the main national challenger. Canadian mobile data has long been expensive by international standards, and many Canadians stay on Wi-Fi at home. For proxy buyers, that means smaller Canadian mobile pools and fewer providers able to offer named Canadian carriers. If you need Canadian mobile IPs for social media or app testing, check the carrier list before you buy.

Province and city targeting matters more than in many countries. Canada is huge, and a lot of what you might want to measure varies by province: retail prices and promotions, provincial sales tax (GST, HST or GST plus PST/QST), alcohol and cannabis retail, delivery coverage, real-estate data and, above all, language. A French-language search for a plumber in Montreal returns a completely different page from an English search in Calgary. Being able to request "Quebec" or "Montreal" instead of just "Canada" is the difference between useful and misleading data.

Geolocation near the border is imperfect. Canadian and US IP addresses are both allocated by the same regional registry (ARIN), and commercial geolocation databases sometimes place Canadian IPs in the wrong city — or occasionally in the US — especially for mobile carriers, whose carrier-grade NAT gateways can make phones in one province appear to be in another. A proxy provider's city targeting is only as accurate as the database it relies on, and the website you're accessing may use a different database. That's why we recommend testing a sample of IPs against the specific site you care about (see How to test a Canadian proxy below).

The same price as the US, usually. Most providers charge one global per-GB rate, so Canadian residential traffic costs the same as US traffic. SOAX is the exception among our picks: it prices traffic by country tier, and third-party breakdowns of its 2026 pricing place Canada in Tier 1, the most expensive tier, alongside the US, UK and Germany. SOAX doesn't name Canada's tier on its own public pages, so confirm the rate in its dashboard.

1. Decodo — Best overall

Decodo (the new name of Smartproxy since April 2025) is the most balanced choice for Canada because it stocks Canadian IPs across every proxy type it sells — rotating residential, mobile, static residential (ISP) and datacenter — and you can start small. That matters if your Canadian work spans several jobs: rotating residential for scraping Amazon.ca, a few static ISP IPs for long-lived accounts and cheap datacenter IPs for bulk checks, all from one dashboard and one invoice.

Targeting covers country, state (province), city, ZIP and ASN on residential traffic, and carrier targeting on mobile, with HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 on all residential traffic. Decodo doesn't publish a Canada-specific IP count; its global residential pool is 115M+ IPs in 195+ locations. Pay-as-you-go residential costs $4/GB, monthly plans fall from $3.75/GB to $2.75/GB at 100 GB, and enterprise volumes reach $2/GB. Its Canada landing page advertises lower headline "from" prices (residential from $1.50/GB, ISP from $0.27/IP) that depend on plan size and current promotions, so compare at the volume you'll actually buy.

New users get a 3-day trial with 100 MB, and first purchases carry a 14-day money-back guarantee as long as you haven't used the free trial or more than 20% of your traffic — the clearest refund terms of any provider in this guide.

2. ProxyEmpire — Best for Canadian mobile and city coverage

ProxyEmpire publishes more Canada-specific detail than any other provider we checked. Its Canada page claims 556 targetable cities and districts across all 10 provinces, plus Yukon and the Northwest Territories (12 of Canada's 13 provinces and territories; Nunavut is the gap). It names the networks behind its Canadian IPs: Bell (including Bell MTS), Rogers (including the former Shaw network), Telus, Vidéotron, Cogeco, Eastlink and SaskTel, plus smaller ISPs such as TekSavvy, Distributel, Start.ca, Oxio, Beanfield, Purple Cow Internet, Tbaytel and Northwestel.

That transparency extends to mobile, which is where ProxyEmpire stands out for Canada. It names Bell, Rogers, Telus, Freedom Mobile, Vidéotron, SaskTel and Eastlink as its Canadian mobile networks — the most complete Canadian carrier list we found — and sells rotating mobile from $2/GB as well as dedicated mobile devices. Rotating residential runs from $3.50/GB pay-as-you-go down to $1.50/GB on the 1 TB plan, with full targeting (country, region, city, ISP, ASN and ZIP) even on small plans, and unused traffic rolls over. Static Canadian residential IPs cost $3.50 for a single IP or $2 per IP per month at 2,000 IPs, and an unlimited-traffic residential plan (from $1,500 a month, or a $200 one-day pass) draws on 28,500+ Canadian IPs a day.

A $1.97 trial gives you 150 MB to test Canadian residential and mobile traffic. The catch is the terms: ProxyEmpire's terms of service say all sales are final, so use the trial to check the cities and carriers you need before committing.

3. SOAX — Best for province and city targeting at volume

SOAX's Canada page claims 911,280 Canadian residential and mobile IPs — the largest Canada-specific figure among providers that publish one per proxy type — and lists all 13 provinces and territories as targetable regions, from Ontario and Quebec to Nunavut. It names about 50 Canadian cities, including the obvious ones (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa) and many smaller markets such as Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John, Thunder Bay, Sherbrooke, Regina and Saskatoon. Its list of Canadian networks is long, too: Bell Canada, Bell Mobility, Rogers Cable, Rogers Wireless, Telus, Freedom Mobile, Vidéotron, Cogeco, Eastlink, SaskTel, TekSavvy, Starlink and many regional ISPs.

SOAX sells residential and mobile traffic from one balance at the same per-GB rate. Canada is, per third-party breakdowns, a Tier 1 country, which means $5/GB in the no-commitment Sandbox, $3/GB on the $200/month Builder plan, $2.20/GB on Team, $1.50/GB on the $1,500/month Scale plan and from $0.85/GB on Enterprise. ISP and ZIP targeting beyond city level — useful for local SEO in a specific Toronto neighbourhood, for example — only open up from the Scale plan. Note that the Canada page offers datacenter proxies in the US, not in Canada.

SOAX suits steady, predictable Canadian traffic rather than occasional use. Credits on monthly plans expire after 60 days and payments are generally non-refundable. The Canada page advertises a $1.99 three-day trial with 400 MB, but SOAX's main pricing page doesn't, so check that it's still offered before relying on it.

4. Bright Data — Best for enterprise

Bright Data offers Canadian IPs on all four of its networks — residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter — and its residential targeting is the deepest in this guide: country, province, city, ZIP, ASN and mobile carrier. Its Canada page shows a live IP counter rather than a fixed claim; when we checked in October 2026 it showed figures between roughly 223,000 and 556,000 Canadian IPs on different parts of the page and in search snippets. Globally, the residential network claims 400M+ monthly IPs in 195 countries.

For larger organizations, the deciding factor is usually compliance. Bright Data holds ISO 27001, SOC 2, SOC 3 and CSA STAR Level 1 certifications and runs mandatory KYC before granting residential access, which can include a short video call. That's friction for a small team, but it's exactly the paperwork a Canadian bank, retailer or agency's procurement and privacy teams tend to ask for.

Price is the drawback. Pay-as-you-go residential traffic lists at $8/GB (a 50% coupon brought it to $4/GB at the time of writing), with plans falling to about $5/GB at list price on the $1,999/month tier. Canadian ISP IPs start at $1.30 per IP and datacenter IPs at $0.90 per IP; mobile has no public price. There's a free trial, and the first deposit is matched up to $500.

5. Oxylabs — Best for city-level Canadian datacenter IPs

Oxylabs, a Lithuanian provider and one of the largest in the market (it claims 175M+ residential IPs globally), is the only provider we checked that publishes a city-by-city table of Canadian IP counts. The table lists 15 cities, led by Toronto (15,797 IPs), Montreal (8,189), Ottawa (7,668) and Québec City (4,224), followed by Calgary (1,408), Vancouver (1,280), Edmonton (768) and Mississauga (640), with smaller allocations of 128–256 IPs in Oakville, Winnipeg, Halifax, Kitchener, Regina, Saskatoon, St. John's and Surrey. Every city in the table supports HTTP and SOCKS5, IPv4 and IPv6, and unlimited bandwidth — a strong sign that these are its dedicated datacenter IPs.

That makes Oxylabs a good fit when you need fixed, fast Canadian IPs in a specific city — for example, a pool of Montreal and Québec City IPs for French-language ad checks — and don't need residential trust. For residential and mobile traffic, Oxylabs offers Canadian IPs with ASN targeting; the Canada page lists residential from $8/GB and mobile from $9/GB, and dedicated datacenter proxies from $8.25 a month.

The Canada page's headline figures are inconsistent (3,568,500 IPs in the heading versus "over 2 million residential and datacenter addresses" in the text), and the pricing is aimed at business customers. Oxylabs is not in our vendor database yet, so we haven't rated its other terms here.

6. Rayobyte — Best for postal code and ASN targeting

Rayobyte, a US company founded in 2015, offers Canadian residential traffic through its Premium Residential product with city, postal code and ASN targeting. Postal code targeting is particularly useful in Canada because the first three characters of a postal code (the forward sortation area, such as M5V for downtown Toronto or H2X for central Montreal) map closely to delivery zones and local search markets. ASN targeting lets you request IPs from a specific network — say, Vidéotron rather than Bell in Quebec — which helps when a site treats ISPs differently.

Premium Residential pricing is the same for Canada as everywhere else: $3.50/GB for up to 49 GB, $2/GB from 50 GB, $1.50/GB from 250 GB and $0.70/GB from 1 TB, with enterprise rates from $0.50/GB through sales. Sticky sessions run from 1 to 120 minutes, and the network supports SOCKS5 with UDP and HTTP/3. Rayobyte is certified by the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) and describes an in-app consent screen with a visible opt-out for the people whose devices route traffic.

For static Canadian IPs, Rayobyte sells dedicated datacenter IPs from $0.85 per IP a month and static ISP IPs from $0.95 per IP a month — but only at scale, with a commitment, through its sales team. Self-serve static ISP IPs aren't available in Canada. Rayobyte doesn't sell Canadian mobile proxies.

7. IPRoyal — Best for occasional use

IPRoyal's main advantage for Canada is simple: residential traffic never expires. Many Canadian proxy jobs are periodic — a monthly price check across Canadian retailers, a quarterly SEO audit, a one-off market study for a Quebec launch — and with IPRoyal you can buy a block of gigabytes once and use it over months. Sticky sessions can last up to 7 days, which also makes it workable for keeping one Canadian identity on an account for a while without paying for a static IP.

IPRoyal describes its Canadian residential pool only as "hundreds of thousands" of IPs, with province and city targeting. Part of its global 64M+ pool is sourced through its own bandwidth-sharing app, Pawns.app. Pricing is high for small purchases ($7.35 for 1 GB pay-as-you-go) and falls to $1.75/GB on subscriptions at 10 TB. The Canada page also lists ISP proxies from $2.40 per proxy (a monthly rate on 90-day terms), datacenter proxies from $1.39 per proxy and dedicated mobile from $10.11 a day — check that Canadian stock is available at checkout, since the page doesn't confirm which of these are located in Canada.

Refunds are tight: within 24 hours and only if you've used 100 MB or less.

8. Webshare — Best for cheap Canadian datacenter IPs

Webshare, based in California, is the cheapest way to get a block of Canadian IPs when you don't need residential trust: uptime checks, scraping sites without strong bot protection, testing Canadian redirects and geo-rules on your own site, or feeding a large number of low-value requests. Its Canada page claims 323,485 Canadian IPs across shared datacenter, static residential (ISP) and rotating residential proxies.

The free plan gives you 10 proxies with no credit card, which is enough to test whether a Canadian datacenter IP works on your target. After that, 100 Canadian datacenter proxies cost $2.99 a month (about $0.03 per IP), falling to about $0.018 per IP at 60,000+ IPs. Static residential proxies start at $0.30 per IP for 20 IPs and fall to $0.225 at 10,000 IPs. Rotating residential traffic starts at $3.50/GB on the 1 GB plan and drops to $1.40/GB at 3 TB.

The Canada page doesn't publish province or city targeting or ASN details for Canada, so if you need IPs in a specific city, check in the dashboard before you buy in bulk. Webshare doesn't sell mobile proxies.

9. DataImpulse — Best budget pay-as-you-go

DataImpulse has the lowest pay-as-you-go residential price of any established provider we compared — $1/GB, falling to $0.80/GB at 1 TB — and traffic never expires. It's also unusually open about its Canadian pool: its Canada page reports 125,119 unique Canadian IPs seen in the last 30 days, 39,073 in the last 24 hours and a real-time active pool of 24,537 IPs when we checked. Those numbers are smaller than the headline claims elsewhere, but they're measured honestly, and 24,000-plus concurrent Canadian IPs is plenty for most price-monitoring and SEO jobs.

The low price comes with trade-offs. Country targeting is included, but state (province), city, ZIP and ASN targeting cost extra, which matters if you need Quebec-only or city-specific data. Sticky sessions last 30 to 120 minutes. A $5 starter pack for new users (5 GB) works as a low-risk trial. The company's corporate footprint is less clear than others on this list; its policies name an entity in the United Arab Emirates.

Other providers we considered

• MarsProxies — its Canada page claims 219,846 Canadian IPs and lists residential ($1.65/GB at volume), ISP (from $1.35 per proxy), datacenter and mobile (from $8.49 a day), but names only four cities (Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver), and its global residential pool claim is only 1M+.
• Infatica — claims over 20,000 Canadian IPs across 12 named cities, with residential traffic from $4/GB pay-as-you-go down to $2.60/GB, and the broadest ISO certification set we found; its Canada page hadn't been updated since August 2025.
• Proxy-Seller — sells Canadian IPv4, IPv6, ISP, mobile and residential proxies with city-level targeting; a Canadian datacenter IP costs about $0.90 for a week, and you can replace an IP or get a refund within 24 hours if it doesn't suit you.
• IPCook — claims 113,458 Canadian IPs on residential, ISP and datacenter proxies, with free city-level targeting and residential sticky sessions up to 24 hours; a younger, Hong Kong-based provider.
• NodeMaven — offers Canadian residential and mobile IPs with real-time IP quality filtering and 24-hour sticky sessions, but doesn't publish any Canada-specific numbers.
• Live Proxies — private IP allocation per customer and city targeting, but residential costs about $10/GB on individual plans.
• NetNut — not recommended. In July 2026 the FBI, with Google and other partners, disrupted what they described as a botnet of more than 2 million hijacked home devices feeding NetNut's residential network and seized several of its domains.

Canadian use cases and practical tips

Retail price and stock monitoring

Amazon.ca, Walmart.ca, Best Buy Canada, Canadian Tire, Costco.ca and the big grocery chains show Canadian dollar pricing, Canadian promotions and Canadian stock, and many vary prices, delivery dates or availability by postal code. Use rotating residential IPs with at least country targeting, and add province or postal-code targeting when you're comparing regions — prices on some grocery and pharmacy sites differ between, say, Ontario and British Columbia. Set the store's delivery postal code in the session as well, rather than relying on IP location alone.

Classifieds and marketplaces

Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace are heavily used in Canada and are location-driven: listings are filtered by city and radius. Kijiji is relatively tolerant of light, polite data collection, but Facebook is one of the hardest targets on the web, and automated access to it breaches Meta's terms. If you manage legitimate Marketplace or Facebook accounts for a Canadian business, a static residential or dedicated mobile IP in the right city is far safer than a rotating pool.

Local SEO in English and French

Search results on google.ca depend on both the searcher's location and language. For a business serving Quebec, you need French-language results from Quebec IPs — a French query from Ottawa or an English query from Montreal returns different rankings. Use city-targeted residential IPs (Montreal, Québec City, Gatineau, Sherbrooke), set hl=fr and the right gl=ca parameters, and send a matching Accept-Language: fr-CA header. Quebec's Charter of the French Language also means many Quebec sites serve French by default, so check that your scraper isn't silently receiving a different language version.

Real-estate and rental data

Listings on Realtor.ca (run by the Canadian Real Estate Association) and Centris (Quebec's MLS portal) are a common target for investors and proptech teams. Both have rate limits and terms of use that restrict commercial reuse of listing data, and much of the data comes from MLS boards with their own licensing rules. Keep request rates low, cache aggressively and check the terms — or look for a licensed data feed — before building a product on top of scraped listings.

Ad verification and affiliate checks

Advertisers running Canadian campaigns use proxies to confirm that ads appear where they should, in the right language, and that affiliate links land on Canadian offers rather than US ones. Mobile IPs on Bell, Rogers, Telus and Freedom Mobile are the most realistic way to check mobile ad placements, while residential IPs targeted by city cover most desktop checks.

Streaming and regulated services

Canadian streaming catalogues (CBC Gem, Crave and the Canadian libraries of the global services) differ from US ones, and their terms generally prohibit accessing them from outside Canada. Most streaming services also block known proxy and datacenter ranges. We don't recommend proxies for this purpose. The same applies more strongly to regulated online gambling: since April 2022, Ontario's iGaming market requires licensed operators to verify that players are physically in the province, and deliberately getting around those geolocation checks can breach the operator's terms and provincial rules. Don't use proxies to do it.

How to test a Canadian proxy

Before you scale up, check a sample of IPs from any provider — ideally during its trial.

1. Check the location in more than one database. Look up each IP on two or three geolocation services (for example ipinfo.io, MaxMind's demo and ip-api.com). They often disagree on the city, and occasionally one puts a Canadian IP in the US. What matters most is the database your target site uses, so also check the country and city your target site detects — many retailers show it in the header or the delivery-location widget.
2. Check the ASN. A Canadian residential IP should belong to a Canadian consumer ISP. Common ones include Bell Canada (AS577), Rogers (AS812), Telus (AS852), Vidéotron (AS5769) and Shaw, now part of Rogers (AS6327). An IP registered to a hosting company or a US carrier isn't residential Canadian traffic, whatever the provider calls it.
3. Match the language and time zone. Send an Accept-Language header of en-CA or fr-CA, and if you use a browser or antidetect profile, set the time zone to match the province: America/Toronto for Ontario and most of Quebec, America/Vancouver for British Columbia, America/Edmonton for Alberta, America/Winnipeg for Manitoba, America/Regina for Saskatchewan (which doesn't change its clocks), America/Halifax for the Maritimes and America/St_Johns for Newfoundland, which is 30 minutes off the other zones.
4. Check for leaks. Make sure your real IP doesn't appear through DNS or WebRTC. Browser-based tests such as browserleaks.com show both. Antidetect browsers and most proxy-aware scraping tools handle this, but a misconfigured browser can reveal your real location even when the proxy works.
5. Measure latency and success rate on your real target. A proxy that loads an IP-check page quickly can still fail on Amazon.ca or Kijiji. Run a few hundred requests against the site you actually care about and count successes, CAPTCHAs and blocks. If you're outside North America, expect higher latency through Canadian residential IPs; for speed-sensitive jobs, pick a provider whose gateway is close to you.

Is it legal to use proxies in Canada?

Using a proxy or VPN is legal in Canada. The legal questions are about what you do through it:

• Unauthorized access. Section 342.1 of the Criminal Code makes it an offence to fraudulently obtain computer services or use a computer system without authorization. Collecting publicly available pages is generally different from breaking into accounts or bypassing logins, but ignoring a site's access controls can cross that line.
• Personal information. If you collect data about people, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) applies to commercial activities in most provinces, and Quebec has its own, stricter private-sector privacy law (updated by Law 25). Publicly visible does not mean free to collect and reuse.
• Copyright and terms of use. The Copyright Act protects the content you scrape, and it prohibits circumventing technological protection measures. Most sites' terms also restrict automated access and commercial reuse.
• Regulated services. Don't use proxies to get around geolocation or identity checks required by law, such as those for online gambling in Ontario.

This is general information, not legal advice. For a commercial scraping project that touches personal data or licensed content, talk to a Canadian lawyer.
