WHO WE ARE
A movement by Canadians, for Canadians.
Monetize The North is a grassroots advocacy movement fighting for equal access to TikTok Shop, affiliate commerce, and creator monetization opportunities in Canada.
We are building national awareness, public support, and formal pressure so Canadians are no longer excluded from digital earning tools available in other markets.
Because opportunity should not stop at the border.
One person can ignite change. Every voice helps it grow.
Canadian creators and businesses are being left behind without access to TikTok's monetization ecosystem. We’re fighting to change that, but we need your support! Raise your voice. Join the movement and be the first to know when the petition launches.
Real change requires real resources.
Your donation helps fund the essential tools, outreach, and campaign work needed to bring this issue into the public eye and fight for equal access in Canada.
THE ISSUE
Canadians are locked out of opportunities others are already using.
TikTok has transformed how creators and businesses earn income around the world. However, its key monetization tools remain unavailable in Canada. This means Canadian creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses are being denied opportunities to earn income, generate new revenue streams, and fully participate in the digital economy.
WHAT CANADIANS ARE MISSING
This is bigger than getting paid for views.
Canada is excluded from three major TikTok earning tools that are shaping the future of social commerce in other markets.
-
TikTok Shop
A new way to sell where video content, livestreams, and in-app shopping drive product discovery and real-time sales.
-
TikTok Shop Affiliate Program
Where creators earn commissions by helping brands drive sales through shoppable content.
-
TikTok Creator Rewards Program
Where eligible creators earn income by creating original, high-performing content.
Together, these tools could help open new income pathways, support Canadian businesses, and strengthen Canada’s place in modern digital commerce.
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
The future of work is changing.
Across Canada, people are navigating rising costs, unstable job markets, hiring freezes, layoffs, and long, discouraging job searches.
At the same time, automation, artificial intelligence, and major industry shifts are changing how people work, earn, and build financial security.
More Canadians are looking for ways to supplement their income, start businesses, create independent revenue streams, and use their skills in new ways.
TikTok Shop and the TikTok Shop Affiliate Program are part of that new economy — giving people in other markets the ability to sell products, promote brands, earn commissions, and build income outside traditional employment.
In today’s economy, Canadians need more access to opportunity — not less.
