Gift cards in Canada are purchased from retailers in various denominations. They can be specific to a brand or retailer or be general-purpose cards. The value of the gift card is loaded onto the card at the time of purchase.

They can be used as a form of payment when making purchases at the respective retailer or brand. Recipients can choose products or services up to the value of the gift card, and any remaining balance can typically be used for future purchases.

Gift cards can be redeemed either online or in physical stores, depending on the retailer’s policies. They offer flexibility and allow recipients to select items or experiences according to their preferences.
