New Annual Subscription Cost of Amazon Prime
Canadians have had the good fortune to pay the same price for Prime since it launched. Currently, the rate for a Prime subscription in Canada is $8 CAD/month or $79 CAD if paid for a year in advance.
The new price will be implemented on new customers subscribing to Prime on or after May 13, or for any existing customers whose prime accounts renew on or after this date.
