Canadians love to be entertained. Whether tuning into our favourite TV show, watching a movie, listening to music or playing the trendiest video game, we are a nation that loves to see, watch and experience the latest and best on-demand home entertainment options.
In Canada, the number of households with streaming services is expected to grow over the next half-decade. In 2017, just over half (57%) of households used at least one on-demand streaming service. By 2023, just over 123% of households will use an on-demand streaming service, according to a DigitalTVResearch report.(2) This increase reflects not just the number of households choosing to subscribe to on-demand services but an increase in the number of subscription services in each Canadian household.
According to studies from Vividata, a Toronto-based not-for-profit industry organization, where more than 35,000 Canadians are surveyed on their cable and streaming use, Canadians are choosing streaming services over cable but not abandoning regular TV just yet.
Only Canadians with access to internet connections with high download speeds will get completely uninterrupted use of streaming services, such as Netflix, Crave and Amazon Prime. (Take the Finder: Internet Speed Test to find out.)
A year earlier, Netflix Canada released Always By My Maybe, another rom-com movie that was filmed in Vancouver, BC, was released to critical praise for its more realistic portrayal of Asian-American relationships.
In recent years, Amazon has been upping its game and featuring award-winning original content, which may be part of why it now captures approximately 25% of the market share in Canada.
Finally, the family-focused Disney brand also threw its hat into the ring when it launched Disney Plus in 2019. Since its launch, the on-demand streaming channel has converted many families into streaming households. Not only does Disney Plus feature all the familiar classics but the latest from smash-hit production companies like Pixar, Marvel Universe and the Star Wars franchise. Check out our Disney Plus guide.
Three streaming services are widely available across the globe: Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime. Based on results from the Finder: Most Popular Streaming Service report,(14) Netflix is still the most popular streaming service in Canada. Roughly 42% of the 1,192 Canadian respondents say they currently have access to a subscription to Netflix.
Many factors can influence actual internet connection speeds, ranging from the type of internet connection to the number of people trying to simultaneously use that connection to limits imposed by your internet service provider.
Streaming may be the great democratizer. According to data from Statista, those with the lowest household income make up the biggest share of video streaming subscribers in Canada. When broken out by income, the percentage of video streaming subscribers is:
Young Canadians between the ages of 25 to 34 are the most likely subscribers to video streaming services, according to Statista, followed by those between the ages of 35 to 44. Surprisingly, the youngest Canadian adults, those between 18 to 24 are less likely to subscribe to a streaming video game service than their older counterparts.

The results of the Finder: Consumer Sentiment Survey Q2 were collected through an online Pollfish survey conducted between April 27 and April 29, 2023. In the survey, 1,011 Canadians from across the country were asked questions about their level of financial security and plans to adjust budgets and spending. The estimated margin of error for the survey is +/- 3%, 19 out of 20 times.

LAST TITLE UPDATE: Jul 30, 2024; count = 2603 titles. Generally updated Tuesdays; some updates are deletions only. Additions to this list are posted on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The date is the date added here, which may be slightly after Netflix added it. Occasionally not all episodes of a series are described, and we try to note this when we find out. In 2024, Netflix has added a net of around 15 titles each month.
A note on terminology: Movies and series identified as being offered as original Netflix Series or a Netflix Movie are also noted. When the studio name is simply "Netflix" as opposed to "Netflix Original," it means that Netflix is the distributor for the title, but it is not licensed as "Original" in the USA. Some of the official genre names used by Netflix have been modified slightly or multiple genres have been combined into one name (e.g., the Kids genre and the Family genre were combined into "Kids & Family").
** Netflix INTERACTIVE movies have interactive capabilities when viewed on some modern smart TVs, game consoles, Roku devices, and some iOS devices (but not Apple TV, nor Chromecast or Android devices).
