Send without visiting a store

  1. Set up your account. Sign in with your email and a one-time code. Name your office, choose a Canadian city for your fax number and pay by card. There is no password. Your number is ordered automatically after payment. It is usually ready in a minute or two.
  2. Add the file. Check the recipient’s fax number and the cover sheet.
  3. Look through the pages. Confirm when you are ready for FaxCan to dial.
  4. Check the result. Live status shows dialling, sending and delivered. “Delivered” means the receiving machine confirmed the pages. You get a receipt by email with the PDF.

One document still costs a month’s fee

C$15 a month plus tax, including 200 pages and one Canadian fax number. FaxCan has no free plan, free trial or pay-per-fax option. If this is the only fax you need, consider the full month’s cost before signing up.

GST/HST/PST is added at checkout based on your province. 200 pages a month are included. At 200, sending pauses until the next billing period. There are no extra-page charges.
