Test the proxy with curl. The check prints the exit IP, not a country; if a lookup of that address names another country, check why location lookups can disagree. For Python configuration and error handling, follow the Requests setup guide.

• Mobile vs residential proxies: the differences
• United States residential proxies
• Mexico residential proxies

• A sticky session prefers an existing binding without reserving a device. The carrier may still change the IP of that device. We do not sell fixed IP addresses on this product, and the pool in Canada is shared.
• A session lifetime is set once per session name with a ttl token, from 60 to 2592000 seconds, and cannot be changed afterwards.
• Mobile traffic runs on carrier modems operated by our network partner; peer traffic uses a mixed network; the residential product label does not enforce residential-only addressing.

Compare rotating and sticky sessions, including why a sticky session can change IP.

• Price and marketplace monitoring

  Check the price, currency, delivery and tax information actually returned for your permitted product page. Use CAD as the expected currency only when it matches that page’s intended market.

• Ad verification and brand safety

  Check a permitted creative or landing page using a requested Canada peer-network route and a separately configured English language preference. This checks rendering, not audience delivery; the pool does not guarantee a home connection.

• Canadian and US store-front comparison

  Read the Canadian page and the US page for the same product in one run, storing the final URL, the stated currency and the language returned, so CAD and USD prices are never averaged together.

• QA and geo-testing

  Load your own site from an exit in Canada with Accept-Language: en-CA, and check the CAD price, the English copy, hreflang, the payment methods offered and any redirect between store fronts.

• AI agents and data pipelines

  Give an agent or a scheduled job an egress in Canada that it selects itself by writing peer-ca into the username.

What do I get when I buy Canada residential proxy traffic?

A GB balance and one gateway credential. Put peer-ca in the username to send requests out of Canada through opt-in peer devices, over HTTP or SOCKS5, with per-connection rotation, a 5 to 60 minute timer or a sticky session. The same balance works on both pools and in every other country we serve. The pool is shared between customers, and we do not sell fixed IP addresses on this product.

How do I get a Canada IP address?

Buy GB, then put peer-ca in the proxy username and connect to our gateway over HTTP or SOCKS5: USERNAME-peer-ca-rot-auto10. The pool is opt-in peer devices in Canada and it is shared between customers; the "devices online now" row at the top of this page is the live count from our stock endpoint, and it is left out when the endpoint does not answer. If no device in Canada is online, the gateway answers 502 with E_NO_STOCK_COUNTRY instead of quietly sending you to another country.

What does Canada traffic cost?

The same as every other country: one price list for both pools, EUR 1.99 per GB for a small order falling to EUR 0.89 per GB at the largest step, with the live table on this page. GB never expire. What you buy stays on your balance until you use it; a new purchase adds to the same balance. You can start with 1 GB for EUR 1.49, or buy from 1 GB. Payments are accepted in cryptocurrency.

Can I hold the same Canada exit for a whole session?

Yes, using a saved sticky configuration. The server allocates its opaque SID and keeps it stable across exports. The SID requests reuse of a binding; it does not reserve a device or guarantee an IP. A sticky session prefers an existing binding without reserving a device. The carrier may still change the IP of that device. An optional sliding lifetime is separate from timed rotation. A lifetime or routing change creates a new version and SID; earlier exported URLs may still bind again.

What is Canada traffic good for, and what is refused?

Price and marketplace monitoring in CAD, ad verification for a Canada audience, market research and local search checks, QA and geo-testing of your own site, and country-targeted requests for agents and pipelines. We refuse social multi-accounting, sneaker and ticket bots, betting arbitrage, sybil airdrop farming, bonus abuse, credential stuffing, and any use against the law of Canada. The acceptable-use policy is accepted at every checkout.
