Expanding your Amazon business from the USA to Canada is an excellent way to increase revenue, reach new customers, and grow your brand globally. If you’re an Amazon Seller looking to make money on Amazon, this guide will walk you through two proven methods for expanding into Amazon Canada.
Whether you want a quick and easy expansion or a long-term scalable approach, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in!
Why Expand to Amazon Canada?
Expanding to Amazon Canada (Amazon.ca) offers several benefits:
✅ Access to millions of Canadian customers
✅ Less competition than Amazon USA
✅ Increased brand visibility and sales
✅ Diversification of revenue streams
However, many sellers fail to optimize their expansion strategy, leading to slow sales and higher fees. Let’s explore how to do it the right way.
Video Explanation:
Method 1: The Quick and Easy Expansion (FBM & Remote Fulfillment)
The first method is a low-cost, low-effort way to start selling on Amazon Canada using Amazon’s Remote Fulfillment program.
Step 1: Enable International Listings
- Ensure you are a professional seller on Amazon.
- Go to Seller Central → Click on Sell Globally
- Select “Amazon Americas” → Click on Build International Listings
- Ensure a connection exists between Amazon.com and Amazon.ca
- Click Edit Connection to verify it’s enabled

Step 2: Enable Canadian Listings
- Navigate to Inventory → Click Edit Listing
- Scroll down to find Amazon Canada
- Check the box to enable your listing on Amazon.ca
- Click Save & Finish
Step 3: Enable FBA Export
- Go to Settings → Click Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
- Scroll to FBA Export Settings
- Enable FBA Export from Amazon.com
Once activated, your listings will automatically appear on Amazon.ca, allowing Canadian buyers to purchase. However, these items will still be shipped from the USA, meaning:
❌ Longer delivery times
❌ Higher import fees for customers
❌ Reduced conversion rates
👉 While this method is quick and easy, it doesn’t optimize sales because your inventory is still stored in the United States.
Method 2: The Full Expansion (FBA in Canada)
For maximum sales and customer satisfaction, you should store your inventory in Canada and use Amazon FBA Canada.
Step 1: Remove Remote Fulfillment
- Go to Sell Globally → Click Build International Listings
- Remove the connection between Amazon.com and Amazon.ca
- Delete all Amazon Canada listings
Step 2: Recreate Listings on Amazon Canada
- Go to Amazon.ca Seller Central
- Click Catalog → Add Products
- Use the same ASIN and SKU as your U.S. listing
- This will transfer reviews from the U.S. to Canada
Step 3: Convert to FBA
- Navigate to Inventory → Select Change to Fulfilled by Amazon
- Click Send/Replenish Inventory
- Amazon will provide a shipping label for their fulfillment center in Canada
Step 4: Ship Inventory to Amazon Canada
- Purchase a shipping label from UPS or another carrier
- Attach both Amazon’s label and the UPS shipping label to your box
- Send it to Amazon’s Canadian fulfillment center
Once Amazon receives your inventory, your listings will appear with Prime 2-day shipping for Canadian customers, resulting in:
✅ Faster delivery times
✅ Higher conversion rates
✅ No import fees for buyers
