SAVE 49%: Unblock Canadian Netflix with a high-speed VPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan also comes with a money-back guarantee.


There's something sinister you should know about Netflix. No, we're not talking about the password sharing crackdown. We're talking about the fact that Netflix knows where you live.

Remain calm. Netflix is not going to show up at your door. We're simply spreading the word that Netflix recognises your location when you sign in to stream, meaning you only get access to the movies and shows from your country's Netflix library. That isn't going to be a problem for a lot of subscribers. But for those who want more, you can access extra content from around the world with the help of a VPN.

How to unblock Canadian Netflix for free

VPNs can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in another country. This simple process tricks Netflix into providing access to all the content that is normally locked to that location. So which country should you try first?

The choice is all yours, but can we make a recommendation? Canada has the largest catalog of movies with over 4,000 films on offer, so this might be the best place to start your trip around the world.

The process of unblocking Canadian Netflix is quick and easy:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in Canada

  4. Sign in to Netflix

  5. Watch your favourite shows and movies from the Canadian Netflix library

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer generous money-back guarantees. By using these guarantees, you can unblock and watch Canadian Netflix without committing with your cash. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it gives you an opportunity to stream your favourite shows for free.

What is the best Netflix VPN?

There are a number of VPNs that can reliably unblock Canadian Netflix, but ExpressVPN is tough to beat when it comes to streaming:

  • Up to five simultaneous connections

  • 30-day money-back guarantee

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £82.82, saving you 49% on list price. This discounted plan includes an extra three months and a year of unlimited cloud backup for free. Subscribers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can unlock your favourite Canadian shows and then recover your investment.
