Are all VPN services blocked by Canadian Netflix? Is it possible to watch Canadian Netflix outside Canada?
I love watching movies and TV shows on Netflix, and even though there are lots of articles dealing with which VPN you can use to watch American Netflix, there haven’t been a lot of focus on Canada and Canadian Netflix. Honestly, I have found that to be quite strange, especially considering that there are so many blockbuster movies and fantastic content on Canadian Netflix that you cannot find elsewhere in the world. Have you been looking for answers as well? This article will dive into the topic and give you information about VPN services that aren’t blocked by Netflix in Canada, and about all the fantastic content waiting for you once you are given access to Canadian Netflix.
As I am writing this article, I am currently using a VPN, and I am looking at the fantastic movies and content waiting for me at Canadian Netflix like; “Transformers – Rise of the Beasts”, “Kingman – The Secret Service”, “Dungeons and Dragons – Honor Among Thieves”, “Jurassic World”, “Jumanji”, “Young Sheldon”, “Prison Break”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Dexter”, and lots of other movies and TV shows. Some of them you will for sure find in your country as well, while others are on Netflix in Canada and nowhere else. But, if you have been looking for a VPN that you can use to watch Canadian Netflix abroad, you probably have a good reason for doing so. Which VPN should you use?
Which VPN can I use to watch Canadian Netflix?
It is quite easy… if you want to watch Canadian Netflix, you should buy a VPN subscription to a VPN provider with servers that aren’t blocked and recognized by Canadian Netflix. If you use a server that is blocked by Canadian Netflix, you will be able to login to Netflix, but you will only see Netflix original content and not the content available to locals in Canada.
But, as you purchase a VPN subscription, it is also nice to get a lot of bonuses. What do I mean? If you buy a subscription to a VPN that gives to Canadian Netflix, wouldn’t it be nice also to get access to American Netflix, Mexican Netflix, Australian Netflix, Japanese Netflix, and Netflix in several European countries such as the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, and more? And besides that, also get access to the live streams of TV networks such as BBC, ITV, NRK, DR, SVTPlay, Rai, ZDF, ORF, Telecinco, and many others in Europe and elsewhere in the world?
Ready to use such a VPN? You should buy a subscription to either NordVPN or PureVPN.
You can click the links to visit the websites of both these VPN providers. They both have easy-to-use VPN application available for all the big operating systems (including iOS and Android), and they also have browser extensions that you can install directly in your browser if that is something you prefer.
What is even more important is that they protect you with a 30-day guarantee. If you don’t like the service and cancel within 30-days, you are entitled to a full refund! That makes you a bit calmer, doesn’t it?
Now that you have a VPN subscription, install the application on your device(s) and connect to a server in Canada. This will immediately give you a Canadian IP address which can be used to watch Canadian Netflix, but also to watch CBC outside Canada and access other geo-blocked content in Canada.
It is time to visit the Netflix website again, or to open the Netflix application on your device. When this is done, you will see the content of Canadian Netflix, and you are ready to stream whatever you want to watch.
It is important to log in to Netflix on your home location, because sometimes you will receive a message telling you that the username and password doesn’t work if you try to log in a brand new country in which you have never been before.
What is so special about Canadian Netflix?
There are lots of fantastic movies and TV shows there, real blockbuster content. But it is also interesting as you watch the content created in Canada. You can find this by clicking “Movies” or “TV Shows” in the menu, and then select Canadian from the drop-down menu presented to you.
You will then find lots of original content on Netflix, created in Canada, and most of it can only be seen on Netflix in Canada. Recently the TV show 19-2, a Canadian TV show, was added to Netflix in Canada. You cannot find it elsewhere in the world, so take advantage of this opportunity to stream it online on Netflix in Canada.
Some more interesting Netflix information.
Did you know that Netflix originally launched in the United States in 1997 as a DVD rental-by-mail service. Can you imagine? People sat down online and ordered a DVD that was sent to them by post, and then they had to return it later. This was how Netflix started. By 2007, Netflix decided to change the model and it started its online streaming platform. Now people with a subscription could instantly watch a selection of TV shows and films without the wait, propelling Netflix into the future of digital entertainment. It took three years for the service to come to Canada, showing that Netflix didn’t rush at making the service available outside the United States. The initial price for a Netflix subscription in Canada was CAD $7.99 per month.
The reception to Netflix Canada was overwhelmingly positive. Within a year, Netflix had gained over 1 million subscribers in the country, and it has grown since then. As of 2024, there are approximately 6,7 million Netflix subscribers in Canada.
Do you get it? You have a lot to look forward to as you watch Canadian Netflix together with millions of others. And with a simply mouse-click or by touching the screen on your tablet/phone you can watch Netflix content also in the United States and elsewhere in the world.
