Canada's marketplace of Canadian vendors
Looking for the best online marketplace in Canada?
Most marketplaces sold to Canadians are global sites with a Canadian storefront. Ocanova was built in Québec with one rule: every vendor is a Canadian business. Here is how to judge a marketplace, and how we measure up.
What the best marketplace in Canada should get right
- You know who you are buying from.Every product on Ocanova names the Canadian business that sells it, with its city and province. No anonymous storefronts.
- It says where things are made and where they ship from.Our labels read “Made in Canada”, “Made in Québec”, “Shipped from Ontario”. When a product is imported, the label says so. When we cannot confirm an origin, we say nothing rather than guess.
- It ships from inside Canada.Canadian dollars, Canadian shipping, and no customs surprise at the door.
- It gives something back.4% of every order comes back to you as store credit, available 35 days after delivery. Refer a friend and you earn 1% on everything they ever buy.
- It speaks both languages.The whole site in English and French, and a Québec-based team that answers within two business days.
