The USA is not the only geography with upcoming Canon price increases — we can now confirm that Canon Canada has also instituted an across-the-board pricing change that is scheduled to take effect on April 25th, one week from today.
Unlike the situation in the USA, tariffs are not to blame for the Canadian price hike; the Canadian pricing change was decided well before the US tariff announcements. It’s suspected that the Canadian dollar’s progressive weakness versus the Japanese yen over the past year is the primary factor for the Canadian price increase.
The same message goes to our Canadians readers: now is the time to stretch and buy any Canon items that you expect to need in the near future.
