The physical distance between you and a VPN (Virtual Private Network) server affects your connection speed. To keep latency low and performance high, Surfshark runs 170+ servers across Canada — between Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

All Surfshark servers are built for speed, reliability, and privacy, featuring:

10Gbps ports, so your 4K streams, video calls, and downloads stay smooth even during peak hours;
Multiple servers per city to prevent downtime and overcrowding;
Private DNS (Domain Name System) on each server that encrypts your traffic and prevents it from leaking;
RAM-only infrastructure, so you can rest assured your activity data is never saved to a physical drive and stored long-term.

Surfshark’s server network ensures your experience remains fast, smooth, and private, regardless of where you connect from.

What you get with Surfshark VPN in Canada

Increased online privacy

Connecting to Surfshark VPN masks your IP address and encrypts your online traffic, making it harder for bad actors to track your virtual location and online activities — whether you’re browsing from Canada or connecting to Canada from abroad.

Our VPN app’s Clean Web ad blocker offers even more peace of mind by blocking ads, stopping trackers, and alerting you to past data leaks on sites you visit.

Leave distractions behind and ride the clean wave of uninterrupted browsing in and outside Canada.

High-speed internet connection

Boosting your security with a VPN doesn’t mean sacrificing fast speeds.

Speed tests show that Surfshark is the fastest VPN on the market, giving you reliable connections to and from Canada.

Our Canadian VPN servers offer unlimited bandwidth, bringing you top-notch encryption and the fast speeds you expect in Canada.

Vast server network

Surfshark has 4,500+ servers in 100 countries on six continents, including three Canadian locations. This makes it easy to connect to a nearby VPN server, whether you’re in Canada or abroad.

Not sure which of our server locations is best for you? Select Quick connect to have the VPN app automatically choose the fastest available option.

Unlimited simultaneous connections

The best VPN in Canada won’t limit your connection to a single device.

Whether you’re surfing on a Mac, Windows PC, or mobile, our VPN app lets you protect multiple devices at once while connecting through servers across Canada.

Secure all your gadgets at no added cost thanks to Surfshark’s simultaneous connections.

All-in-one cybersecurity suite

Surfshark gives you much more than a VPN connection.

Our Starter plan offers advanced tools like an ad blocker, kill switch, and alternative online persona generator to enhance your web security — whether you’re browsing at the airport in Toronto or logging in from a hotel in Vancouver.

For added protection, higher tiers include Antivirus, the Alert data leak monitoring tool, and our Incogni data removal service that helps you delete your personal information from people-search sites.

Canadians reported over 44 million breached accounts in 2024, ranking second in North America.

Global breaches also increased eightfold in 2024, highlighting how prominent this threat is becoming.

A VPN is an effective way to help defend yourself from such breaches. Connecting to one of Surfshark’s Canada VPN servers encrypts your internet traffic, shielding your online activities from cybercriminals and possible data theft.

Frequently asked questions

Are VPNs legal in Canada?

Yes, VPN services are legal in Canada. People often turn to VPN apps to enhance privacy and make internet connections safer. However, it’s important to comply with Canadian laws and regulations while using a VPN service.

Is there a free Canada VPN?

Yes, free VPN services offer access to Canadian servers, but using them isn’t recommended. Free VPNs often have limited security features, slower speeds, and potential privacy concerns. Instead of choosing a free VPN for Canada, look for a paid VPN provider like Surfshark, which provides the best value for the price.

How do I change my VPN location to Canada?

To change your VPN server location to Canada, follow these steps:

Choose a VPN provider, create an account, and download/install the VPN app.

Set up a VPN connection with your selected server, and you’re good to go. You now have a Canadian IP address.

Both free VPN and paid VPN services have servers and staff. Paid VPNs charge you money to offer you the best quality possible. Free VPNs usually either collect and sell your information or bombard you with intrusive ads.
