What's available

Netflix Canada gives you access to a solid library that includes many popular originals and licensed titles. You can stream hit series like Stranger Things, The Crown, Ozark, Wednesday, and Squid Game. On the film side, you'll find Netflix originals like The Irishman, Bird Box, Extraction, and Glass Onion. Canadian Netflix also carries some regional content and a decent selection of documentaries, anime, and stand-up specials.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library — one of the largest on Netflix — Canadian subscribers miss out on a notable number of titles due to licensing restrictions. Specific content unavailable in Canada includes:

  • Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
  • The Office (US version)
  • Schitt's Creek (ironically, a Canadian show)
  • Suits
  • Shrek and several other DreamWorks films
  • The Dark Knight trilogy

The US library holds thousands more titles overall, making it a significantly larger catalogue for movies and TV shows alike.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your apparent location so Netflix shows you a different regional library. To access the US Netflix catalogue, connect your VPN to a United States server, then open Netflix as usual. The platform will detect a US IP address and serve you the American library.

Our top recommendation is NordVPN. It reliably unblocks Netflix US, offers fast streaming speeds, and has servers optimized specifically for streaming. Simply download NordVPN, connect to any US server, and you're set.

Pricing

Netflix Canada currently offers three plans priced in Canadian dollars:

  • Standard with ads: CAD $5.99/month
  • Standard: CAD $16.49/month
  • Premium: CAD $20.99/month

Pricing is subject to change, so check Netflix.ca for the most up-to-date rates before subscribing.

Our recommendation

If you're in Canada and want to get the most out of your Netflix subscription, pairing it with NordVPN is the smartest move you can make. You get everything already available in the Canadian library plus instant access to thousands of additional US titles like Breaking Bad and The Office that you'd otherwise never see. The setup takes under five minutes, streaming quality stays strong, and you only pay for one Netflix account. It's a straightforward upgrade that significantly expands what you can watch.
