Streaming services have completely transformed the way the world perceives entertainment today – especially home entertainment. Easy access to a vast variety of content, both local and international, makes streaming an easy way to not only spend leisure time (alone or with loved ones) but also to deal with stress. 

Canadians are part of the world’s population that enjoys streaming just as much as anyone else. The following statistics by Reviewlution about streaming in Canada prove that:

  • The streaming business is rapidly growing in Canada at a rate of 6.4%. 
  • The COVID-19 pandemic drove subscribers to streaming services at a hitched rate of 22%. 
  • Canada is the fifth-largest subscriber of streaming services, the distribution rate being 74% in 2019.

 

This number of streaming services in the market today can make it quite difficult for Canadians to opt for a particular streaming service most suited to their needs.

Therefore, below we’ve listed down the four best streaming services that you can subscribe to in Canada depending on your interest, budget, and other requirements. If you’re already subscribed to any of the following but are unable to access them because you’re traveling outside Canada, follow Screenbinge for the best guides on unblocking geo-restricted content.

The good thing about these streaming wars among streaming service providers is that owing to the intense competition in the market, they’re always trying to come up with the best offer – and as a user, you should be able to benefit from that. 

Hopefully, this guide will help you choose the best streaming services if you are in Canada and wish to get your hands on the best home entertainment options.
