It’s official. Amazon Canada has announced that there will be another sale event for Prime members. It’s not being called “Prime Day,” which occurred on July 12 and 13, 2022, but rather “Prime Early Access Sale.” The two-day sale event will be live on Oct. 11 at 3 a.m. ET through to Oct. 12, 2022.
No need to go at the internet alone. We test products, interview pros and do what’s required to get you unbiased, unadulterated, unsponsored recommendations. We’re a weekly newsletter, a cool one. Talk Thursdays.

The name “Prime Early Access Sale” may not be as snappy as “Prime Day” but it may be worth pencilling in your calendar. Amazon Canada is set to have some serious deals on favourite brands including Apple, Samsung, L’Oreal, Yeti and iRobot.
This could also be a good time to shop for all of the upcoming fall and winter holidays. We’ll continue updating this article as we learn more about the sale event, and of course, have our “best deals” list published early on Oct. 11 (to ensure there’s lots of inventory on those best deals).
Rumour has it, Amazon Canada will be hosting another Prime sale in October. There are a couple of things to note about this event, but ultimately, consider it a solid opportunity to get on early holiday shopping. We know, it’s uncalled for to say that “H” word when we’re just getting used to the idea of fall. But, between shipping times and inflation, an October sale event may be just what the Holiday Armadillo ordered.
Considerations to note
Similarly to Prime Day, which was on July 12 and 13, 2022, we’ll be staying on top of the best deals across all major shopping categories.
And we mean truly the best deals. We sift through tens of thousands of deals to find high-quality products that are decently on sale. For example, during Prime Day in July, this Zwilling coffee grinder, which is $169.99, was on sale for $42.29. We highlighted the grinder in our newsletter and it was shortly sold out after. We stay on top of inventory levels throughout the major sale events and update articles accordingly.
It’s time to start making your lists so you can check them twice before some time in October.
