Same for Canada, but I’m able to access Gemini through the web interface.

Gemini works in Canada as of today. Bard was not available in Canada anytime I tried it previously. Maybe the "regulatory uncertainty" was recently resolved [1].

Bizarrely still unavailable in Canada. Even Google has stepped back the strange Canada-reluctance, I can get any version of Gemini since the last release. But somehow Anthropic can't figure out how to get Canada onto the list of ~88 supported countries: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations

Same here... very upset at Google caving in. And now as icing on the cake, Gemini is not available in Canada either.

That legislation and the recently passed one (senators and conservatives teaming up)... make one mad.

Interesting, I am also Canadian and was able to access it just fine.

With Bard still not available in Canada, I hope Gemini could.

Though you can access the website from Canada.

Original page works for me in Canada, as a data point.

I am in Canada and it seems to be available.

Confirmed, can't access it from Canada, but with a VPN to the US, it's available.

Who makes these choices?

I'm in Canada, but visiting the page through a paid US proxy I see them as available.

I'm in Canada too I just fired up Tunnel Bear VPN and was able to see bard OK.

But yeah weird we are usually lumped in with the US market.

Neither do we in Canada. It's a US-only service.

I am in Canada and when I went to their website I found that it's not available for me either. I wonder what they do.

noarchy | karma 3614 | avg karma 3.13 · | 2019-02-08 02:08:19+00:00

Possibly, I'm trying to access it from Canada.

dubcanada | karma 4308 | avg karma 3.03 · | 2020-09-24 14:50:46

Not to take away from the launch, it's only available in main land US. Sadly no Canada at the moment :(

forensic | karma 3039 | avg karma 2.97 · | 2009-11-30 03:27:58+00:00

I live in canada and it's working fine for me :P

kps | karma 7825 | avg karma 2.95 · | 2020-06-22 17:57:33

Thanks, you're right — can access from the US, can't from Canada, with no explanation.

gesman | karma 2954 | avg karma 1.61 · | 2013-06-27 21:54:54+00:00

It is only supported in USA. I'm in Canada. Next please ...

samuelhalle | karma 2 | avg karma 0.4 · | 2011-07-20 13:41:35+00:00
