What Does Netflix Cost in Canada?
Netflix charges Canadians in CAD, and pricing has increased in recent years. Here's the current lineup:
| Plan | Monthly Price (CAD) | Screens | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard with Ads | $7.99/month | 2 | 1080p |
| Standard | $18.99/month | 2 | 1080p |
| Premium | $23.99/month | 4 | 4K Ultra HD |
Note: Netflix Canada pricing is notably higher than US pricing when converted to CAD at par. The Standard with Ads plan launched in Canada in late 2022 and is the most affordable entry point. Extra Member slots (for users outside your household) cost $7.99/month per person on Standard and Premium plans.
Your charge will appear on statements from TD, RBC, Scotiabank, CIBC, BMO, Desjardins, or whichever card you used at signup. Netflix bills on the same date each month — check your billing date inside your account settings before cancelling to maximize access time.
How to Cancel Netflix in Canada (Step-by-Step)
Netflix does not require a phone call or live chat to cancel. You can do it entirely online in under two minutes.
Via Web Browser (Recommended)
- Go to netflix.com and sign in to your account.
- Click your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Account from the dropdown menu.
- Under the Membership & Billing section, click Cancel Membership.
- Click Finish Cancellation to confirm.
You'll receive a confirmation email immediately. Your account remains active until the end of your current billing period.
Via iPhone or iPad (iOS)
Netflix subscriptions purchased through the App Store are managed by Apple, not Netflix directly.
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID (your name at the top).
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Netflix in the list and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If you don't see Netflix under Apple subscriptions, your subscription was set up through Netflix's website — use the web steps above.
Via Android / Google Play
If you subscribed through Google Play:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Find Netflix and tap it.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the prompts.
Again, if Netflix isn't listed under Google Play subscriptions, your billing is handled directly by Netflix — use the web steps.
Via Smart TV or Roku
Netflix does not support in-app cancellation on most smart TVs or Roku devices. Use a browser or mobile device to cancel, then the change will reflect on your TV app automatically.
Can You Get a Refund After Cancelling Netflix in Canada?
No — Netflix does not issue refunds for partial months in Canada. When you cancel, you retain access until the end of your current billing period, but Netflix's standard policy is no pro-rated refunds.
Ontario residents: Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, you may have grounds to dispute a charge if you were billed after a clear cancellation attempt or experienced a billing error. Contact the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery or dispute the charge directly through your bank. For more details, review your rights in Ontario.
Quebec residents: Quebec's Loi sur la protection du consommateur (Consumer Protection Act) provides stronger recourse for recurring billing disputes. If Netflix continued charging you after cancellation, you can file a complaint with the Office de la protection du consommateur (OPC). Learn more about your rights in Quebec.
For billing disputes, contact your bank directly — TD, RBC, and most major Canadian banks allow you to flag unauthorized or disputed recurring charges through their app or by calling the number on the back of your card.

What Happens After You Cancel Netflix in Canada?
Access duration: Your Netflix account stays fully active — with all your profiles, watch history, and downloads — until the last day of your paid billing period. You are not cut off immediately upon cancellation.
Data retention: Netflix retains your account information, viewing history, and profiles for 10 months after cancellation. If you reactivate within that window, everything will be exactly as you left it.
Reactivation: Reactivating is simple — sign back in at netflix.com and choose a plan. If you're within the 10-month window, your profiles and preferences are restored automatically. After 10 months, your account data is deleted.
Downloads: Any content downloaded to a device for offline viewing will become inaccessible once your billing period ends and your account deactivates.
Extra Member slots: If you had added Extra Members to your plan, those users lose access at the same time as your account deactivates.
How to Cancel Netflix Free Trial in Canada
Netflix has largely phased out free trials for new Canadian subscribers as of 2024, but promotional trials occasionally return through partner offers (Fido, Rogers, certain credit card promotions, etc.).
If you are on a trial:
- Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid being charged. Netflix auto-renews trials to paid plans without any reminder.
- The exact trial end date is listed in Account → Membership & Billing.
- Set a calendar reminder on the day you sign up — not the day before. Billing can process early.
- If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel through those platforms (steps above), not through Netflix's website.
If you were charged after believing you cancelled a free trial, contact Netflix support first, then escalate to a billing dispute through your bank if unresolved.
Alternatives to Cancelling Netflix in Canada
Before you cancel outright, consider these options:
Downgrade your plan: Switching from Premium ($23.99/month) to Standard with Ads ($7.99/month) saves $16.00/month. Go to Account → Change Plan to switch immediately.
Pause your account (not available in Canada): Netflix does not currently offer a pause or hold feature for Canadian accounts. Cancellation and reactivation is the only option.
Share costs with a household: The Premium plan supports up to 4 simultaneous streams. If you're not already splitting the cost with household members, that's a straightforward way to reduce your per-person cost.
Rotate subscriptions: Cancel Netflix and subscribe to Crave, Disney+, or another service for a month or two, then rotate back. This is a popular strategy among Canadian cord-cutters.
If you suspect Netflix is one of several subscriptions quietly draining your account, it's worth taking a broader look. Track all your subscriptions in one place to see exactly what you're paying each month.
