Iraqi TV in Canada

How Iraqi-Canadian families in Toronto, Mississauga, Windsor, London, Ottawa and Vancouver watch Iraqi news and entertainment at home. القنوات العراقية في كندا.

Iraqis in Canada

Iraqi Canadians include Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Chaldean, Turkmen and Mandaean families, with large communities in the Greater Toronto Area, Windsor, London, Ottawa, Calgary and Metro Vancouver. Many households follow Iraqi news very closely and also watch pan-Arab drama, football and religious programming.

What Iraqi households usually look for

Iraqi news and current-affairs channels, Iraqi comedy and series, Kurdish-language and Syriac/Assyrian programming, Shia and Sunni religious programming including Muharram and Ramadan coverage, Iraqi football, and children's channels in Arabic. Ask us for the current Iraq category; if you also need Kurdish channels, tell us when you request the trial.

Time difference

Iraq is eight hours ahead of Eastern time and eleven hours ahead of Pacific time. Iraqi evening news airs around noon in Toronto and Windsor and in the early morning in Vancouver. Catch-up on supported channels and a guide set to local time make this much easier. City guides: Windsor, Mississauga, Vancouver.

Setup

A recent Smart TV or a Fire TV Stick is all you need. Follow the Smart TV guide or Firestick guide, or ask us on WhatsApp to walk you through it in Arabic.

Religious occasions

Many Iraqi families follow religious occasions live: Ramadan, the Eids, Muharram and Arbaeen, and Christian holidays for Chaldean and Assyrian families. These broadcasts are long and often live, so a stable wired connection and a guide set to your local time help. Ask us before the occasion which religious channels are currently available, and test them during your trial. Outside religious occasions, Iraqi families in Windsor, London, Toronto and Calgary mostly follow news and political talk shows from Baghdad and Erbil, plus Iraqi football. Baghdad is seven or eight hours ahead of Eastern Canada, so the evening news there airs around midday here; catch-up, where offered on a channel, solves that.

Prices and trial

Plans are the same everywhere in Canada: 6 months $29.99, 1 year $49.99 or 2 years $84.99 (USD), paid once with no contract. See pricing or start with a free trial on WhatsApp.

A note on channel lists

We do not publish channel counts or promise specific Iraqi channels, because availability depends on current licensing and can change. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current Iraq category and confirm your must-have channels during the trial. Test during the hours your household actually watches, on the TV you will actually use. Write down any channel you could not find and ask us before paying.
