Overview
Amazon Canada Seller Central is the console for amazon.ca. The SP-API marketplace ID is A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2. Prices and most fees settle in Canadian dollars. Official login is sellercentral.amazon.ca. It often lives on a North America unified account next to the US store, but it is not a copy of US Seller Central. Sales tax is GST/HST (plus PST/QST in some provinces). Packaging and copy have to survive Quebec’s French-language rules. FBA Canada inventory is not automatically the same pool as US FBA.
Amazon collects GST/HST on Canadian marketplace orders as a facilitator and handles PST/QST in provinces such as BC, SK, MB, and QC under those rules. If you have a GST/HST number on file, the federal portion is typically passed back in disbursements for you to remit to the CRA; the unregistered path is different. The small-supplier threshold discussed in tax explainers (often around CAD 30,000 of taxable supplies) is a CRA question, not a US nexus analogy.
Core features and advantages
CAD fees and GST/HST
On a Canada-priced plan, sell.amazon.ca/pricing (checked 2026-09-06) lists Individual at CAD 1.49 per item and Professional at CAD 29.99 per month, plus referral fees. A North America and Brazil unified Professional plan is described on Amazon’s global-selling pages as USD 39.99 per month covering US, CA, MX, and BR — confirm on the payments page. FBA Canada fulfillment is a gram-based CAD card. Help pages state non-holiday rates from 2026-01-15, and a fuel and logistics surcharge from 2026-04-17 on Canadian FBA and on Remote Fulfilment from the US into Canada. Fee preview excludes tax; GST/HST can apply on seller fees.
English/French and Quebec
Canada is bilingual. Reddit threads on expanding to CA tell sellers holding inventory in Canada to treat French as mandatory on packaging and listings, especially toys and household goods aimed at Quebec. Build International Listings from the US store often fails auto-translate; you rebuild French fields in this console on the same SKU rather than inventing a second SKU that splits the catalog. Answer buyer messages in the language they used.
FBA Canada versus North America Remote Fulfilment
Local FBA into Canadian fulfillment centers is what makes Prime on .ca predictable. Remote Fulfilment with FBA (NARF) can sell US-stored units into Canada on a separate CAD fee card, with different transit and GST handling. Sellers have reported leftover Canadian tax invoices after turning NARF off — usually a stray order or a global-selling switch still enabled. Check both this console and US Seller Central. US FBA stock is not Canadian local stock.
Supported platforms
amazon.ca only (A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2). The unified North America account can switch to the US, Mexico, and Brazil; CAD offers, bilingual fields, and GST IDs stay here. EU VAT and Australian GST are not filed in this host. amazon.ca is the shopper site.
Who it's for
- Teams already on US Professional: opening Canada from Sell Globally is the lower-friction North America add-on.
- Canada-only sellers: a CA account is enough; do not assume the USD 39.99 plan.
- Categories that need French on pack: translate before you inbound to CA FCs.
- Skip it: no CAD pricing, no French capacity, or treating Canada as overflow from amazon.com.
Concrete case: a standard-size personal-care ASIN already selling in the US should be built on amazon.ca with a CAD offer, French title and pack shots, then compared in fee preview between CA FBA inbound and NARF. If a naive FX conversion wipes the margin, change the price before you ship.
Pricing and value
Canada store card (sell.amazon.ca, 2026-09-06): Individual CAD 1.49/item; Professional CAD 29.99/month. Unified North America is USD 39.99/month. Referral percentages in 2026 public material still sit in a roughly 6%–17% band by category — read the live schedule. Envelope FBA help text has listed about CAD 4.46 for the first 100 g on the 2026-01-15 non-holiday card; peak season is another table. No login fee.
Demand is smaller than the US; competition is often thinner too. The value is a second North American store, not a free clone. French packaging and CAD FBA are real costs.
Community feedback
r/FulfillmentByAmazon Canada threads cluster around three problems: NARF offers blocked as “price higher than typical,” whether French packaging is worth it, and mystery GST invoices. Sellers do not treat Canada as a mini-US: FX, the CAD FBA card, and Quebec language rules are separate traps. Chinese-language discussion is thinner than for the US store; this page does not invent quotes.
Competitive positioning
This is amazon.ca. US Seller Central shares the account and runs USD plus state sales tax. Mexico is pesos and another invoicing stack. Walmart.ca and eBay.ca are separate applications. Keepa charts Canada; it does not hold your GST number.
Alternatives
- Amazon: North America unified accounts and global selling.
- Amazon US Seller Central: the same account on amazon.com / USD / sales tax, usually the traffic source for a Canada expansion.
- Amazon Mexico Seller Central: another North America store with different tax and logistics.
Limitations
The catalog is smaller, so the same ad budget spreads less well. Missing French fields limit Quebec. NARF skips inbound and can still lose the Buy Box. GST registration changes returns and input tax credits; it is not “Amazon finished every tax.” Canada FBA prep-and-label help has cited an end date (2026-07-01 in current articles) — re-read inbound help before you ship unlabeled units.
Verdict
Canada fits North America sellers who will redo the P&L in CAD and can ship bilingual packs. Set GST information and French listings in this console before choosing local FBA or NARF. Signing into the US host is not the same as opening Canada.
Next step: open sellercentral.amazon.ca, check the selling plan and tax registration, and compare FBA versus Remote Fulfilment in the Canada fee preview.
