Prices in Canada vary by region: Toronto and Vancouver are higher than Ottawa or Halifax.

Shopping and souvenirs
Canada has excellent shopping opportunities with a variety of high quality products at attractive prices.
Before going shopping, it is worth considering that the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario are not the best places to shop (prices for goods are quite high here): for shopping it is better to choose boutiques and malls located in Toronto and Ottawa (here you can shop cosmetics, clothing, shoes, accessories, household appliances, souvenirs, jewelry).
If you want to buy something interesting and useful at a low price, be sure to visit Fleamarket - a fair that takes place in the courtyards of residential buildings (residents put up their goods for sale).
Important: look closely at the price tags, since prices in most cases are indicated without VAT.
It is worth bringing from Canada:
- original wood products (boxes, panels, cups, figurines of eagles, bears, wolves, masks, totem figurines of Indians), a dream catcher;
- maple syrup, “ice wine”.
In Canada, you can buy a dreamcatcher from $ 9, 5, maple syrup - from $ 5, 8 / small bottle, a souvenir or a toy in the form of a beaver - from $ 6, 5, hockey paraphernalia - from $ 9, 5, blueberry jam - from $ 8, 5, Icewine ("Ice wine") - from $ 28.
