Can You Watch VRV in Canada? Guide to Accessing the Platform

Avatar photo by Shawn Gant | June 6, 2022

VRV

Are you looking to stream VRV from Canada? VRV is an online content streaming service based in the US market, and it’s not available to Canadian residents.

VRV has a huge content library of content and channels, including Cartoon Hangover, Boomerang, Crunchyroll, Mondo, Hi-Dive, Rooster Teeth, NickSplat, and VRV Select. While you might think you can’t access this site from Canada, we have a workaround you can use to access the VRV site from Canada, sound good? Let’s dive in!

3 Steps to Stream VRV Using a VPN

Watch VRV in Canada by following these three easy steps.

1. Subscribe to a VPN service and download the software.
2. Log on to your account, choose the American sever.
3. Open the VRV platform and watch any content you want.

Is VRV Available in Canada?

No, VRV and its sister company, Crunchyroll, are not available to Canadian residents. When you log onto the site, you’ll receive a message telli8ng you that VRV is not available in your country or region. VRV only operates in the US, but you can get around these geoblocks to access the platform if you use a top-rated Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Download and install a VPN on your router or device, and activate it. Navigate to your VPN dashboard, and you’ll see a list of destination servers. Choose an American server and connect. The VPN shuttles your connection through the American VPN server, changing your IP address.

Your IP is your computer’s unique digital signature that gives away your global position to the VRV server. The VPN swaps out your original IP for a US-based IP, and the VRV server can’t tell the difference between the US IP and an authentic US-based connection.

At the same time, the VPN encrypts your connection, creating a tunnel for the data flowing from the VPN to your connection. As a result, even your ISP won’t know which site you’re connecting to or the content you’re downloading.

So, with your VPN activated on a US-based VPN server, you can access VRV and Crunchyroll from Canada.

Will VRV Ever Come to Canada?

VRV and Crunchyroll have no plans to expand into the Canadian or global market. The company doesn’t operate with a worldwide model due to licensing fees on its content. VRV only has a licensing agreement to offer content to the American market.

If VRV wants to expand its footprint, it will need to pay tens of millions in licensing fees, making the company unprofitable. So, it restricts content access outside of the market. However, you can work around these issues using your VPN.

VRV knows that people around the globe access its site through VPN servers, and they turn a blind eye to this activity. Since there is no way to prove you’re not accessing from inside the US, it’s business as usual, and they won’t make any attempt to sue you or get you in trouble if they find out you’re using a VPN to access the site.

Some VPNs are better than others, so make sure you choose a premium, top-rated VPN. Accessing the site with a free VPN won’t work. The platform AI has a list of free VPNs and proxies commonly used to access the site, and it blocks your access. Only a top-rated VPN has the security protocol necessary to cloak your IP.

What is VRV?

Launched in 2016, VRV is an online streaming platform and a sister brand to Crunchyroll. However, the content selection on VRV is much bigger than Crunchyroll, thanks to its huge collection of Anime and gaming-related channels.

Crunchyroll is a subsidiary of a Sony joint venture with anime business “Funimation Global Group.” VRV is a subsidiary of Otter Media, launched with content partners Rooster, Seeso, Teeth, Nerdist, Geek & Sundry, and Cartoon Hangover.

The company expanded its partnership shortly after its launch, bringing top-rated channels and anime from Adam Savage’s Tested, Funimation, CollegeHumor, RiffTrax, Ginx TV, Shudder, Machinima.com, and Mondo Media.

The VRV model revolves around a subscription service, and you get the widest range of anime content available anywhere on the web. The company says it has over 20,000 hours of content on its site.

How much does VRV cost?

When you sign up for VRV, you have the choice of registering for a free account or choosing a $9.99 monthly subscription option.

VRV has plenty of great titles available to watch on the platform for free. However, the free titles come with adverts. If you want an ad-free experience on the platform, you’re going to need to take the monthly subscription.

You also have options for subscribing to other premium channels within the platform at the cost of $5 per month.

What are the Top Shows/Movies on VRV?

  • “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.” (2016)
  • “Critical Role” (2015)
  • “Yuri!!! on Ice” (2016)
