Get Amazon Prime Video in Canada

Amazon Prime Video is not a standalone subscription in Canada; it's bundled as a key benefit of an Amazon Prime membership. This means when you sign up for Amazon Prime, you automatically get access to Prime Video, along with other perks like faster shipping and Amazon Music Prime. Here's how to get started:

Step-by-Step Guide to Accessing Prime Video

1. Visit the Amazon Prime Canada Website: Go to the official Amazon Canada website (amazon.ca) and look for the "Try Prime" or "Sign up for Prime" option.
2. Start Your Free Trial (Optional): Amazon typically offers a 30-day free trial for new Prime members. This is an excellent way to explore Prime Video and all other Prime benefits before committing. You will need to provide payment information, but you won't be charged until the trial ends.
3. Sign Up for a Prime Membership: If you're past the trial or prefer to subscribe directly, you'll choose a monthly or annual plan. The annual plan usually offers a discount compared to paying monthly.
4. Download the Prime Video App: Once your Prime membership is active, download the Amazon Prime Video app on your preferred device. It's available on smart TVs, streaming sticks (like Fire TV Stick, Roku, Apple TV), game consoles (PlayStation, Xbox), smartphones, tablets, and computers via web browser.
5. Log In and Start Watching: Open the Prime Video app or visit the Prime Video website (primevideo.com) and log in using your Amazon account credentials. You'll then have full access to the library of movies, TV shows, and Amazon Originals.

Pro tip: Beyond the included content, Prime Video also allows you to rent or buy additional movies and TV shows, and subscribe to premium channels like STARZ or AMC+ directly through the platform. This means you can consolidate many of your streaming subscriptions in one place.
