When is Amazon Prime Day 2021 in Canada?
While it normally takes place during the month of July, Prime Day this year has actually been postponed in Canada due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. In the meantime, customers can continue to find and order the products that they need on Amazon.ca since there are still plenty of deals to be found.
How do I access Amazon Prime Day sales in Canada?
Once Prime Day does roll back around, in order to score deals you'll have to be signed up for Amazon Prime. If you’re not already a member, you can enrol in a 30-day free trial that gives you all of the benefits of a Prime membership, like free two-day shipping, access to Prime Video original TV shows and movies, and free e-book and music downloads through Prime Music and Prime Reading.
Once the trial ends, you can sign up for an annual membership for $79, or a monthly membership at $7.99 per month. Discounted rates for students start at just $3.99 after an initial free six-month trial, so if you’re still in school you can save big.
