Three million Canadians live outside Canada — in the USA, UK, Australia, UAE, Europe, Asia, and beyond. For years, watching CBC, CTV, TSN, or Sportsnet from outside Canada meant complex workarounds with VPNs and geo-blocked streaming apps. Our IPTV for Canadian expats eliminates all of that. Direct access to 50,000+ channels including all Canadian national broadcasts, available instantly anywhere in the world, for $CA 15.99/month.
Canadian streaming services — CBC Gem, CTV App, Global TV App, TSN Direct, Sportsnet Now — all use geo-blocking technology to restrict access outside Canada. When you open the CBC Gem app from London, New York, or Sydney, you see an error: "Content not available in your region." This is a licensing restriction, not a technical limitation. IPTV bypasses this entirely.
The problem is particularly acute for Canadian expats who care deeply about staying connected to home. For families separated across continents, watching Hockey Night in Canada together on a video call is a Canadian tradition. For Canadian professionals working abroad who need to stay current on Canadian news for career reasons, access to CBC News Network and CTV News Channel is important. For Canadian sports fans in London who want to watch every Toronto Blue Jays game despite the 5-hour time difference, a reliable solution is essential.
VPNs are one approach — but they require technical sophistication, often slow down streaming, frequently stop working as streaming services block VPN IP addresses, and violate the terms of service of the streaming platforms. Our IPTV service is a cleaner, simpler, more reliable solution that works out of the box in any country, on any device, without any VPN required.
Our service is used by over 10,000 Canadian subscribers worldwide — including large communities of Canadians in London, New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, Dubai, Tokyo, and across Europe. It is the most popular solution among the Canadian expat community for staying connected to Canadian television.
Every Canadian channel is available to expat subscribers through our IPTV service. Below is a full breakdown of what you can watch from outside Canada.
Our service works in virtually every country in the world. Here is a guide for Canadian expats in the most popular destinations.
For Canadian expats, losing access to Hockey Night in Canada when they move abroad is one of the biggest cultural shocks. Saturday nights watching the Leafs, Habs, Canucks, or Oilers is a Canadian institution. Our IPTV service restores this fully — every game, every season, from every country in the world.
Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts on CBC and Sportsnet in Canada. Both channels are available in our IPTV service with no restrictions. A Canadian expat in London can watch the Maple Leafs vs. Canadiens Saturday night game on CBC, just as if they were back home in Ontario — except it airs at 12:30 AM UK time. Many expats use the 150,000+ VOD library's catch-up feature to watch the game the next morning.
TSN 1–5 covers most weeknight NHL games and is also fully included. Sportsnet, Sportsnet One, and Sportsnet 360 cover additional games. NHL Network provides round-the-clock hockey programming. With our service, Canadian expats have access to every single NHL game broadcast in Canada — regular season, playoffs, and the Stanley Cup Finals.
