The Canadian HeadQuarters, more popularly known as CanadaHQ, is a darknet marketplace expressly designed for Canadian users. Since launching in 2018, this market has accordingly become the go-to DNM of choice for many Canadian darknet traders. It’s still relatively under the radar, and it doesn’t boast as many product offerings as other larger alternatives, but it’s a great option for anyone who wants a localized experience for domestic darknet commerce in Canada.
Design
Naturally, the marketplace’s user interface is very Canada-centric. All product listings are priced in Canadian Dollars (CAD) rather than in cryptocurrency or USD to help users parse costs easily. The interface also highlights the real-time exchange rate between CAD and the site’s two supported currencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and the popular “privacy coin” Monero (XMR). To boot, CanadaHQ’s dashboard provides real-time clocks so users can easily track what time it is in major Canadian cities across different time zones, e.g. Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg.
As far as its marketplace goes, CanadaHQ offers product categories for fraud, drugs, services, and hosting. The site’s main interface also highlights top vendors and featured products on a rolling basis.
Features
CanadaHQ describes itself first and foremost as an “escrow market,” so escrow support is the keystone feature of the site. As expected, this darknet marketplace also provides the features of PGP communications and 2FA logins, two other staples of the DNM ecosystem.
Security
CanadaHQ’s most salient security measure is allowing its users to anonymously pay for goods and services using Monero. Some DNMs have been slow to fully embrace or emphasize Monero because Bitcoin, which is trackable through blockchain analysis, remains king in the cryptoeconomy. However, CanadaHQ makes it just as easy to spend XMR as BTC, and that’s a great thing for users when the legal stakes are so high.
Conclusion
At present, there’s a shortage of dedicated Canadian DNMs, so CanadaHQ is definitely a top option, if not the top option, for otherwise underserved Canadian darknet traders. The site hails itself as having a great support system, too, so if you value responsive admins then CanadaHQ should score big points there as well. Of course, its main limitation is that it’s open only to Canadians, although that limitation grants its users more security from mail inspections. In contrast, some traders might prefer to do business on a platform that allows US users too, for example. But that’s a matter of personal taste and risk preference. If Canada-only is fine for you, CanadaHQ may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Just opened an account, sent the btc to the address listed to make a deposit into my wallet, keep on clicking update balance but shows 0. This market is a scam and disgrace to the name of Canada. Avoid it like the plague.

Had over 700 in my wallet. Messaged support asking for a new withdrawal pin and their response was my account was compromised and my balance had been withdrawn. Not suspicious at all

huge scam market. made using copied-and-pasted javascript codes with an open-ended server rented from downtown toronto. main public link is literally on the main page of google as "canadahq.net" with all information accessible using the developer console in chrome. either a very sad excuse for a market that will leave every user at the risk of authoritative punishment or a very pathetic attempt at creating a darknet platform - almost teenage minded. i smell the worst version of ross ulbricht's story happening all over again but for every person who comes in contact with this platform. be very cautious and stick to any market that is at least not mirrored from a publicly ICANN-licensed domain.

I've been burned before elsewhere so when I saw things not progressing with my order, I got on it fast. The guy was nice about it saying he would make it up right away. I had written it off but in a couple of days everything and more showed up. I couldn't believe it and I shouldn't have they because there may be a few legit pills in there. I've been around too long and know what's what especially with prescriptions. I think I might just send them back and have them tested cause it's bad for business right
