Oh Canada! How to snag yourself some sweet Amazon Prime, eh?
So, you wanna dive into the wonderful world of Amazon Prime, but you're stuck here in the land of maple syrup and moose (don't worry, they mostly keep to themselves). Well, fret no more, hoser, because this guide is here to help you become a Prime pro in no time. Consider yourself the Wayne Gretzky of online shopping, but with less skates and more comfy pants.
How To Get Amazon Prime Canada |
Step 1: Embrace the Free Trial, Friend!
First things first, Amazon Prime offers a free trial, which is basically like winning a poutine-eating contest – all the deliciousness with none of the initial guilt (the guilt might come later, depending on how much you binge-watch that new show). This trial lasts a whole month, which is plenty of time to test the waters and see if Prime tickles your fancy. Think of it as an all-you-can-stream buffet, with free shipping as the dessert!
Here's the catch (there's always a catch, isn't there, eh?): You gotta have a valid credit card to sign up. But hey, if you manage to forget to cancel before the trial ends, you can just blame it on a sudden bout of Canadian politeness – "Oh, sorry, I completely forgot, eh?" (Just kidding, please pay your bills)

Step 2: Become a Shipping Speedy Gonzales
One of the biggest perks of Prime is the free, two-day shipping. That's right, you can order that ridiculous inflatable T-Rex costume on a whim and have it at your door in a flash – perfect for those last-minute costume parties where everyone else just throws on a toque and calls it a day (because, let's be honest, that's basically half the costumes in Canada already).
Plus, there's a whole bunch of other shipping options, some as fast as same-day. Imagine the possibilities! Need a new hockey stick right before your big game? Prime's got you covered. Forgot your granny's birthday gift? No problem, Prime will get it there faster than you can say "sorry" for forgetting.

Step 3: Entertain Yourself Silly with Prime Video
Prime Video is basically like Netflix's cooler, Canadian cousin who also knows how to throw a killer bonfire party. You'll have access to a ton of movies and TV shows, including some pretty awesome Amazon Originals you won't find anywhere else.
Binge-watch that new show everyone's talking about? Check. Finally get around to watching that classic film you've been meaning to see for ages? Absolutely. Procrastinate on cleaning your house by watching just one more episode? Well, we can't help you there, but hey, at least you'll be entertained!
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.![]()
Bonus Tip: If you want to avoid those pesky ads that interrupt your viewing pleasure, you can upgrade to Prime Video Ad-Free. Think of it as paying a small fee to ensure your popcorn-munching experience remains uninterrupted.
So, is Amazon Prime Canada Worth It?
Well, buddy, that depends on you. If you love getting stuff delivered fast, enjoy watching shows until your eyes bleed, and appreciate the occasional guilt-free poutine feast (because let's be honest, those things are delicious), then Prime might just be your new best friend.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.![]()
But if you'd rather spend your evenings sipping maple syrup straight from the source and wrestling bears (not recommended), then maybe Prime isn't for you. Hey, there's no shame in that – to each their own, as they say in Canada (or maybe that's just a universal saying? I forget).
The important thing is to weigh the pros and cons, sign up for that free trial, and see if Amazon Prime becomes your new partner-in-crime (or should we say partner-in-shopping?)
