How to Get Free Stuff in Canada
Lots of Canadian companies offer freebies to their customers. While this is also true in the U.S., the problem is that foreign companies usually don’t want to ship across the border, so Canadian residents often miss out on these big offers. If that has been your case in the past, there’s no need to worry. There are actually lots of companies that specifically give away samples to those within the Canadian territory.

Join the local mailing list of companies you are interested in. Signees often receive coupons, discounts or special samples just by sharing their names or answering a few questions via email or through a web form. Do make sure you write or subscribe to the Canadian local office, rather than the general one, so you don’t miss out on exclusive offers.

Visit freebies websites geared especially to Canadian residents. Sites like Canadian Free Stuff (CFS) and Freemania offer lots of opportunities that you can either call or write for within Canadian territory. CFS also features regular contests you can enter for free, including opportunities to win overseas vacations, dream weddings or even cars.

Tips & Warnings
If you are asked to sign up for something before you are able to receive a sample, be careful with the type of information you are giving away. Create a free Yahoo! or Hotmail account so you can use that for giveaways and avoid spam. Never share your phone number or other private information.
