Why Canada-specific monitoring matters
Canadian websites need monitoring that respects PIPEDA, handles bilingual (EN/FR) content audits and detects Canada-specific routing issues across Rogers, Bell and Telus networks. Most US-centric monitors check from Chicago or Virginia and miss cross-border BGP issues that affect real Canadian users. Lemwatch runs Toronto and Montreal checkpoints with .ca CIRA-regulated domain monitoring built in.
In-country monitoring checkpoints
Primary checkpoints: Toronto (YYZ) and Montreal (YUL). Secondary: New York, Chicago, Vancouver (via Seattle).

Frequently Asked Questions — Canada
Where are the Canadian monitoring checkpoints?
Toronto (YYZ) and Montreal (YUL) are primary, plus the global checkpoint mesh. Both sit on tier-1 Canadian backbones.
Do you track .ca domain expiry?
Yes. CIRA-regulated .ca domains are checked daily via RDAP with 90/60/30/7/1-day expiry alerts. .qc.ca and provincial subdomains are also supported.
Is Lemwatch PIPEDA and Law 25 compliant?
Yes. We collect monitoring metadata only — no end-user personal data. Account-level data residency in Canada can be arranged on Agency plans.
Can Lemwatch monitor both English and French versions of my site?
Yes. Add /en and /fr (or your locale paths) as separate monitored pages — each gets its own Core Web Vitals, SEO and content-change tracking.
Will Lemwatch detect Canadian ISP routing issues (Rogers, Bell, Telus)?
Yes. Toronto and Montreal checkpoints sit on different Canadian upstreams to most cloud-only monitors, so cross-border BGP issues and Canadian-ISP outages get caught.
Can I pay in CAD?
Stripe processes billing in USD, but the dashboard displays pricing in CAD. HST/GST-compliant invoices are issued for Canadian businesses.
