Cold email to businesses in Canada

In Canada, commercial email falls under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which is stricter than most and generally requires express or implied consent before you send. Implied consent only applies in limited cases, for example when someone has conspicuously published their business email address without saying they do not want messages and your message is relevant to their role. Every message must identify you, include your contact details and offer an unsubscribe option that works. This is general information, not legal advice.

Riftjaw helps with the practical side: every record keeps its source and date, unsubscribes are honoured automatically and every campaign carries your sender details and an opt out link.

Questions people ask

Does Riftjaw sell a list of businesses in Canada?

No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the businesses yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.

How do I get email addresses for businesses in Canada?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@ and hello@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.

Can I keep Canada separate from other areas?

Yes. Put Canada in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Canada. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
