That email figure compares with 63% across the five countries we cover, and 20% of the Canadian addresses we found are free webmail (Gmail, Outlook and the like) rather than a business domain. 96% of the businesses list a phone number on Google Maps.

Searching Canada properly

Google Maps returns a limited number of places per search, so one search across Toronto or Vancouver misses most of it. The location picker lists Canada's forward sortation areas — the first three characters of a postal code, about 1,650 of them — so you can cover a metro in small pieces, each searched separately.

Each business comes back with its phone, website, full address, rating, reviews and hours from Google Maps, then the email and social profiles found on its own website — one row per business, exported to XLSX or CSV.

Emailing Canadian businesses: CASL in outline

  • • Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires consent for commercial emails, but recognises implied consent when a business address is conspicuously published — on the company's website, say — without a statement refusing unsolicited messages, and your message is relevant to the recipient's role.
  • • Every message must identify you, give your contact details, and include an unsubscribe that works. Penalties under CASL are real, so keep a record of where and when you found each address.

This is an outline, not legal advice. The reference is the Government of Canada's CASL site; for the European picture, see Google Maps scraping and GDPR.

Questions

Does CASL allow cold email to businesses?

Often, under implied consent for conspicuously published addresses, provided the message is relevant to the recipient's business role and they haven't said they don't want unsolicited messages. This is an outline, not legal advice.

Can I search by postal code?

Yes — by forward sortation area, the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. Splitting a large city into its FSAs is how you get past Google's per-search cap.

How much does a lead list for Canada cost?

1 credit per business delivered, with emails and socials included. As a guide, we estimate ~1,500 dentists in Toronto — about 1,500 credits for all of them. The first 100 credits are free; the Starter plan is 50,000 credits a month for $19.
