Back in July we reported that the Spotify launch in Canada was imminent. It had put up a registration page for interested subscribers allowing some to try the service before it was formally opened up to everyone. Trials have been running since then but the day many Canadians have been waiting for is finally here. Today Spotify has finally been launched in Canada.

All users in Canada will receive immediate access to over 20 million songs in Spotify’s library. There’s a basic free subscription available as well which allows streaming with audio quality up to 320kbps on any device at any time. Spotify says that Canadians will also have access to “the most extensive Canadian music catalogues available,” including a comprehensive Quebecois library.

The free tier aside, users will also have the option to sign up for the $10 CAD Spotify Premium service which will not only allow them to download and listen to music offline, but also brings a fully on-demand ad-free listening experience.

Its high time that Spotify catered to our neighbors particularly because the likes of Google Play Music, Deezer and Rdio were pretty quick to bring Canada into the fold soon after they launched.

Canada is the 58th market is which Spotify is available now. All of the service’s music discovery and organization tools will be available to users, they can start right away by downloading the relevant app for their platform.
