To get the most out of your Canadian VPN, you’ll need one with local VPN servers and a proven track record for protecting your privacy. PIA VPN has servers in Vancouver, Ontario, Toronto, and Montreal, able to give you a Canadian IP address in minutes, so you can connect to your favorite local sites safely, from anywhere.

An IP address is a unique set of numbers identifying and locating any device on the internet. A Canadian IP address allows you to unblock websites for Canadian news and banking which may be restricted to local users only. To get a Canadian IP, connect to one of PIA VPN’s many servers in Canada.

Prices vary but you typically pay more for a fast VPN with servers in Canada. At PIA, you get a full-featured VPN from just per month, and you can try our VPN at no risk thanks to our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Canada’s heavy surveillance makes it difficult to stay anonymous online. Local laws don’t stop companies from collecting your information. Wherever you leave your digital footprint — be that at Tim Hortons or Cineplex — you can be sure third parties are tracking it. This data can then be shared with advertisers, authorities, or even cybercrooks. Your ISP also has unrestricted access to your activity when you’re browsing at home. Even in incognito mode!

PIA VPN protects you from online surveillance. Our military-grade encryption renders your data completely unreadable to third parties.

Yes. PIA has 4 VPN server locations across Canada in Toronto, Ontario, Vancouver, and Montreal. All servers work with local websites, like Netflix, CBC, and Kijiji, so you can enjoy your favorite content without sacrificing your privacy.

Yes, you can. Use PIA VPN to hide your real IP address, and get a new one from one of our VPN servers. Simply connect to a server in Montreal, Toronto, Ontario, or Vancouver from anywhere in the world. Whether you want to hide your search history at home, or watch CBC while away on holiday, PIA has you covered with a Canadian IP address.

You can, but it doesn’t mean you should. Many gratis services sell your usage data to cover their running costs. Free VPNs are also often slow and unreliable, or they may limit your usage, which makes them useless for streaming Coroner and other Canadian shows. You’re likely to experience buffering or lagging, or even be cut off completely.

If you’re not sure, you can try PIA with our 30-day money-back guarantee and see if our VPN fits your needs. That way you’ll know exactly what you’re spending your money on before you fully commit.

Changing your IP address on its own isn’t enough to hide your online activities from your ISP. Your data still has to pass through your ISP's network, so you need VPN encryption to secure it. Our military-grade encryption scrambles your data using an unbreakable cipher, making it unreadable to your ISP, or any other third party, including the Five Eyes alliance.

Yes. You can get a Dedicated IP VPN from PIA’s servers in Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. Getting a unique IP can improve your experience on Canadian websites. You’ll encounter fewer CAPTCHAs and security blocks because dedicated IPs don’t trigger protection systems as often as shared IPs. This is particularly helpful on gaming servers with tighter security.

Your anonymity remains untouched with a dedicated IP address from PIA. We use an anonymous token-based mechanism when assigning your IP. This means that even we can’t trace your Dedicated IP to your real IP.

Bill C-18, also known as the Online News Act, is a Canadian legislative measure that came into effect in June 2023. This law tackles the country's news funding crisis by charging global corporations like Meta for hosting local news content. Consequently, Meta and other companies opted to block Canadian news to evade these charges.

Bill C-18 triggered intense debates both within and outside Canada regarding the extent of government control over digital information.
