Digital Habits and Channels in Canada
Canadians are heavy smartphone users, and SMS and iMessage remain the default way to text friends, while WhatsApp is popular in immigrant communities, especially South Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin American households. Businesses typically send texts from toll-free or short-code numbers rather than alphanumeric sender IDs, which Canadian carriers do not generally support, and the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association administers the common short code programme.
Interac e-Transfer is the everyday way to send money between people, and debit (Interac) and credit cards dominate in-store. Prices are usually shown before GST/HST and provincial sales tax are added. Key retail moments include Boxing Day, Black Friday, back-to-school in late August and Canada Day on 1 July, and French-language versions are expected for audiences in Quebec.
Canada's economy includes energy, mining, forestry, agriculture, manufacturing and a large services sector, with banking concentrated in Toronto. Sales taxes vary by province: some combine federal and provincial tax into a single HST, while others charge GST plus a provincial tax. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires express or implied consent, sender identification and an unsubscribe mechanism for commercial electronic messages, including texts. Interac e-Transfer is the most common way to send money, and the National Do Not Call List covers telemarketing.
