Most sauna heaters reach Canada through an official importer, a brand's dealer network or a multi-brand sauna store. Below are the main routes by brand and by store, plus Homecraft, the Canadian heater brand. Always buy the North American model with a CSA, cUL or cETL mark.
A sauna heater is a long-lived appliance, so the seller matters as much as the price. Ask three questions before you order:

Homecraft is a sauna heater brand based in Surrey, British Columbia. Its certificate of compliance lists CSA C22.2 No. 164, the Canadian standard for electric sauna heaters, and UL 875, the US one. Several of the stores above stock it, which makes it a practical choice when you want a heater designed for the Canadian market from the start.
Many Canadian saunas are at cottages without a large electrical supply. For those, a wood stove from Harvia, Narvi, IKI or Kuuma is often the better fit; compare them in electric vs wood-burning sauna heaters. Order early in the season: delivery to rural areas is often to a freight terminal rather than the door.
