O SCANada: Buy Canadian!

Made in Canada, made easy! Quickly and easily scan a product to determine if it’s Canadian so you can support Canadian businesses. Make your dollars count, and shop with accuracy and the confidence that you’re making a great choice.

Use the barcode scanner or text search to reveal ratings and explanations of a product’s origin. Is a product not Canadian enough for you? Alternatives are provided based on similar Canadian brands.

Unless you’re talking about maple syrup or beaver dams, "is it Canadian?" is not always a straightforward question. O SCANada provides accuracy by assessing four key elements of a product's Canadian authenticity.

We ask:

Does the product or brand have Canadian ownership?
Are the manufacturing locations within Canada?
How many Canadians does the business employee?
Are materials sourced, at least in part, locally within Canada?

If you’re not satisfied with the results, O SCANada also offers alternatives for products that are Canadian, so you can make informed choices and keep your dollars in the Canadian economy

With the power of O SCANada you can:

Scan a barcode, or use text to search.
Access your search history to recall products you’ve previously searched.
Contribute to the community by adding barcodes for products not in the database.
