Marketplace Overview

Amazon Canada (amazon.ca) offers an excellent opportunity for US sellers to expand internationally with minimal friction. With a shared border, similar consumer preferences, and English as a primary language, Canada is often the first international market for American sellers.

The Canadian marketplace has grown significantly, with Prime membership and advertising options expanding rapidly. While smaller than the US, competition is notably lower, often resulting in better ACoS and profit margins.

PPC Advertising Tips for Amazon Canada

1

Leverage US Learnings

Keywords that work in the US often work in Canada. Start with your proven US winners.

2

Consider French Canada

Quebec represents ~23% of the Canadian population. French listings can capture additional market share.

3

Account for Shipping Costs

Canada's vast geography means higher shipping costs. Factor this into your pricing and margin calculations.

4

Use NARF for Easy Expansion

North American Remote Fulfillment lets US sellers fulfill Canadian orders without CA inventory.
