Why Canada
Thirteen jurisdictions and two languages
Canada had 41,798,407 residents on 1 July 2026, and six in ten of them live in two provinces: Ontario (16.26 million) and Quebec (9.07 million), according to Statistics Canada. The rest are spread from Newfoundland and Labrador on the Atlantic to British Columbia on the Pacific, plus three northern territories.
Language splits the market as well. In the 2021 census French was the first official language of 82.2% of Quebecers and 21.4% of all Canadians, and 30.0% of New Brunswick. Bilingual landing pages, French ad copy and French search results are checked from Quebec; the English side from Ontario or British Columbia.
Canadians still browse a lot from computers. StatCounter counted 50.67% of Canadian page views on desktops in September 2026 against 46.21% on phones, and iOS ran on 64.89% of the phones.

Coverage
Canada’s largest metro areas and how to reach them
Census metropolitan areas by population on 1 July 2025, with the province and city keys our gateway accepted on 26 October 2026.
| Metro area | Population, 1 July 2025 | Province key | City key |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto | 7,108,874 | ontario | toronto · mississauga |

Populations: Statistics Canada, table 17-10-0148-01. In our test ipinfo.io placed 24 of 24 province requests (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta) in the province asked. Of 24 city requests, 20 hit; the misses went to Airdrie, Alberta (twice, for Calgary), Willowdale, Ontario and Montréal (once each, for Toronto), so check the city of an exit before relying on it.
Networks
The networks Canadian households use
Bell, Rogers with the former Shaw network, TELUS and Vidéotron reach about three quarters of Canada’s measured internet users between them in APNIC’s data.
| Network | ASN | Share of Canadian users | IPv6 | Of our 37 household exits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bell | AS577 | 20.4% | 11.4% | 15 |
| TELUS | AS852 | 15.3% | 84.3% | 4 |
| Rogers | AS812 | 13.6% | 91.0% | 4 |
| Shaw, part of Rogers since 2023 | AS6327 | 12% | 88.3% | 1 |
| Vidéotron | AS5769 | 11.6% | 28.2% | 5 |
| Cogeco | AS7992 · AS11290 | 5.3% | 74.1% · 57.1% | 2 |
| Bell Aliant (Atlantic) | AS855 | 2.9% | 1.6% | 2 |
| SaskTel | AS803 | 2.4% | 0.7% | 0 |
| Eastlink | AS11260 | 2.2% | 1.1% | 1 |
| Bell MTS (Manitoba) | AS7122 | 1.5% | 2.1% | 0 |
Shares and IPv6 come from APNIC Labs’ per-country table of 24–25 October 2026; they are shares of Canada’s measured users, not of our pool. The last column counts the household exits placed in Canada in our 26 October sample; the other three came from Purple Cow Internet, Managed Network Systems and Carrytel, smaller access networks that APNIC also lists. APNIC also lists hosting networks (GTHost, Linode, ServerMania, Amazon) at about 1.7% together.
Mobile
What a Canadian mobile exit looks like
Twelve exits through our mobile login on 26 October 2026 all landed in Canada: six on Rogers (AS812), five on TELUS (AS852) and one on Freedom Mobile, which Vidéotron announces as AS20365. None of the twelve came from Bell. Rogers and TELUS phone exits carried the same ASNs that their home internet uses in APNIC’s table, so the network number alone does not tell a phone from a home router on those two operators.
Rogers reported 12,285,000 mobile phone subscribers on 30 September 2026, Bell 10,380,265 on 30 June, TELUS 10.3 million in the same quarter and Quebecor 4,484,000 lines across Vidéotron, Freedom and Fizz. The CRTC counted 10,645,500 residential mobile subscriptions on flanker brands in the first quarter of 2026, the second brands of the large operators. TELUS said its 5G covered about 34.2 million people, over 92% of the population, in mid-2026.

https://ipinfo.io/jsonA Canadian quirk
IPv6 depends on which network you land on
About 45.9% of Canada’s measured users could use IPv6 on 25 October 2026, but the average hides a split between operators.
Share of each network’s users that can reach IPv6, APNIC Labs, 25 October 2026. A test that logs the client address will see a mix of IPv4 and IPv6 from Rogers, Shaw and TELUS exits and almost only IPv4 from Bell, Bell Aliant, SaskTel or Eastlink. Shaw also kept its own ASN after Rogers bought it on 3 April 2023, so an exit named Shaw Communications, usually in British Columbia or Alberta, is on Rogers’ network.
Privacy law and public data in Canada
PIPEDA applies to private-sector organisations that collect, use or disclose personal information in commercial activity, and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner oversees it. Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have their own private-sector privacy laws, deemed substantially similar; Quebec’s is overseen by the Commission d’accès à l’information.
In October 2024 the OPC and 15 other data-protection authorities said that publicly accessible personal data is still covered by privacy law in most jurisdictions, that a site’s terms cannot by themselves make scraping lawful, and that platforms should rate-limit, detect bots and act against mass scraping. Law firm BLG reports that an Alberta court held in May 2025 (Clearview AI, 2025 ABKB 287) that images scraped from social media were not publicly available under Alberta’s consent exception. Keep to public, logged-out data within each site’s terms.

Canada proxy questions
A proxy whose exit has a Canadian IP address, so sites treat the request as Canadian. You need one when the answer depends on the visitor being in Canada or in one province: amazon.ca prices, French pages for Quebec, or results ranked for Toronto.
399K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026. A residential pool is a changing set of real home connections, so the number moves from day to day. There is no separate count for Canadian mobile IPs; in our October sample the mobile exits came from Rogers, TELUS and Freedom Mobile.
Yes. Add -st-ontario or another province key, and -city-toronto or another city key where available. On 26 October 2026, 24 of 24 province requests and 20 of 24 city requests were placed where asked by ipinfo.io; the misses landed in a neighbouring town or, once, in another metro. A value the dashboard does not list is refused with 407.
From the networks Canadians use at home. Of the 37 household exits placed in Canada in our 26 October 2026 sample, 15 were on Bell, 5 on Vidéotron, 4 each on Rogers and TELUS, 2 each on Cogeco and Bell Aliant, and the rest on Eastlink, Shaw and three smaller access networks. You cannot pick a Canadian ISP in the login; read the ASN of each exit with one lookup instead.
Residential for prices, listings and search results. Mobile when the target is the phone experience, at $0.50 per GB more than residential at every tier. ISP proxies when one account needs the same address for weeks; availability by country is shown on the order page.
Ask for -st-quebec or -city-montreal and send an Accept-Language header such as fr-CA, as in the Python example. French is the first official language of 82.2% of Quebecers (2021 census), so a Quebec exit with a French header is the closest match to a typical Quebec visitor.
Rogers bought Shaw on 3 April 2023, and the former Shaw network still announces its own ASN, AS6327. It carries about 12% of Canada’s measured users, mostly in British Columbia and Alberta, so a Shaw exit is an ordinary Rogers home connection in the West.
Using a proxy is a networking choice; what counts is what you do with it. PIPEDA and Quebec’s privacy act apply to personal information you collect, and Canada’s privacy regulator has said that publicly accessible personal data is still covered by privacy law. Stay with public, logged-out data within each site’s terms. This is not legal advice.
You cannot see who runs a free proxy or what it records, and your requests, cookies and any logins pass through it. A free trial on a paid service lets you test real exits first; the pricing page shows the current terms.
Use gate.aeonproxy.com:7000 as an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy with a login such as ap_a1b2c3-cc-ca-st-quebec and your password. Browsers and extensions take the same host, port and login; for code, copy the examples above. Check the exit at our IP checker before you start.
The exits in the hero above measured 106 to 173 ms of round trip between the exit and Frankfurt, where our gateway runs, on 26 October 2026; Montréal was the closest. Your own server’s distance to Frankfurt comes on top.
