Colored Contacts in Canada: Shipping, Prices and What Actually Arrives
Short answer: Mojosee ships colored contact lenses to every Canadian province direct from our supplier warehouse, with tracking, in 14–20 days door to door. Shipping is free over US$69 and US$10.99 below that. Prices are charged in US dollars, and both credit cards and PayPal work at checkout. There is no Canadian warehouse and no faster paid tier — one standard service is all we run, which is why the order dates below matter more here than they would at a domestic retailer.
What shipping to Canada actually looks like
Orders leave our supplier warehouse after processing and travel by 4PX global mail with end-to-end tracking. The realistic window is 14 to 20 days from the day you order to the day the parcel is in your hands. That figure is not a marketing number — it is the same window we quote for US orders, because Canadian parcels ride the same route.
Two things slow a parcel down more than distance does. The first is prescription powers: lenses with a power other than 0.00 are picked per eye, which adds a day or two before dispatch. The second is ordering a mix of in-stock and low-stock designs in one cart, because the whole order waits for the slowest item. If you need one design by a fixed date, order it on its own.
Free shipping starts at US$69 in the cart. Below that the standard rate is US$10.99. For most people two pairs clears the threshold, which is also the reason a second pair is the most common way Canadian customers use the free-shipping line.
Prices are in US dollars
Every price on the site, including the Canadian storefront at mojosee.com/en-ca, is in USD. Your card issuer converts at their own rate on the day the charge settles, so the amount on your statement will be slightly different from the number at checkout. We do not add a separate currency fee.
Payment is by Visa or Mastercard, or by PayPal. Both are live for Canadian orders — our Canadian orders have gone through on each of them.
Import charges: the honest version
Canada applies its own rules to imported goods, and whether a parcel attracts duty, GST or HST is decided by the Canada Border Services Agency, not by us. We do not collect Canadian tax at checkout and we cannot promise a parcel will arrive with nothing to pay. Most low-value orders clear without a charge; some do not. If you want certainty about your own situation, the CBSA publishes the current thresholds — that is the authority, and we would rather point you there than guess on your behalf.
What Canadians actually search for
Looking at what brings Canadian visitors to this site, the pattern is colour-first rather than character-first: green, purple, natural, hazel, blue, red, white and grey, in that order. That is a different mix from the US, where costume and character designs lead. The eight below are the in-stock pick for each of those colours, and most of them carry prescription powers as well as plano.
The full range by colour is on the green, purple, blue and grey collection pages, and everything built to show on dark brown eyes sits in colored contacts for dark eyes.
Prescription or plano
Roughly one design in five carries prescription powers, running to −8.00 in 0.25 and 0.50 steps depending on the design. The rest are plano — 0.00 power, worn for the colour alone. Both kinds are medical devices in Canada and both are dispensed the same way; the product page for each design lists the exact powers available rather than a blanket claim.
Diameters run 14.0 mm, 14.2 mm and 14.5 mm across the main range, with 22 mm sclera designs for full-eye costume work. If you have worn circle lenses before, 14.2 mm is the middle of the road and the safest first choice. Diameter changes how large the eye reads far more than colour does.
Halloween and convention timing
For Halloween 2026 the order date that matters for Canada is October 1. At 14 to 20 days that clears October 31 with enough margin to try the lenses on once before the night — which you should, because the first time you wear a new diameter is not the night you want to discover it. The full four-country breakdown is in the order deadlines guide.
Conventions need a longer runway than Halloween. Allow a month, partly for shipping and partly so you can wear the lenses for an hour at home first.
"Natural" is the hardest ask on dark eyes
After green and purple, the third thing Canadian visitors search for is a natural look. It is also the request that goes wrong most often, because "natural" on a light iris and "natural" on a dark brown iris are two different products. On a dark eye, a thin, translucent lens disappears entirely — you paid for nothing. What actually reads as a believable eye colour is a design with enough pigment to cover the brown underneath, but with a soft outer ring rather than a hard black one, and a printed pattern that breaks up rather than a solid disc.
That is why the hazel and brown picks above are in the list even though they are close to the wearer's own colour. A brown-on-brown lens is not pointless: it lifts the tone a shade or two and evens out the pattern, which photographs well and passes in daylight. If you want the effect to be visible from across a room, go to grey or green and accept that it will read as a colour change rather than as your own eyes.
First time wearing lenses
Two of the most common things Canadian visitors search on this site are how to put lenses in and how to take them out. If that is where you are, read how to put in contact lenses and how to remove contact lenses before your order arrives, not on the night you need them. Give yourself a quiet twenty minutes at a mirror the first time. Almost everyone fails the first two attempts and then never thinks about it again.
Colored lenses sit the same way clear ones do, but they are slightly thicker, so a first-time wearer notices them more for the first hour. That settles. What should not settle is stinging, redness or blurred vision — those mean take them out.
Winter, remote postal codes and the parcel itself
Canadian winter does not damage sealed lenses; they ship in sterile buffered solution in a blister and freezing does not compromise that. What winter does change is the tail end of the delivery window, because the last leg is Canada Post and weather delays hit rural and northern routes hardest. If your postal code is one where everything arrives late in January, assume the top of the 14 to 20 day range rather than the middle.
The parcel arrives as a small padded envelope, not a box, and it needs a signature only if your building requires one. Tracking is live from dispatch, so the number in your shipping email works on both the 4PX and Canada Post sites once the parcel is handed over.
Returns and what happens if something is wrong
Sealed, unopened lenses can be returned. Opened lenses cannot — that is a hygiene rule, not a policy preference, and it is the same at every lens retailer. If a parcel arrives damaged, or a blister is compromised, send a photo and we replace it. The full terms are in the refund policy.
The failure mode worth avoiding is ordering one pair for an event with no margin. At 14 to 20 days there is no way to fix a problem inside a week. Two pairs of the design you care about costs less than the shipping on a rushed second order, and it also happens to clear the free-shipping line.
FAQ
How long does shipping to Canada take?
14 to 20 days door to door with tracking, by 4PX global mail. Prescription powers add a day or two before dispatch because they are picked per eye.
Do you ship to all Canadian provinces?
Yes, including the territories. Remote postal codes can sit at the end of the window rather than the middle.
Are prices in Canadian dollars?
No — all prices are in US dollars, including on the /en-ca storefront. Your card issuer converts at their rate when the charge settles.
Will I pay duty or taxes on a Canadian order?
That is decided by the Canada Border Services Agency, not by us. We do not collect Canadian tax at checkout, and we do not promise a parcel will clear without a charge. Check the CBSA thresholds if you need certainty before ordering.
Can I get prescription colored contacts in Canada?
Yes. About one design in five carries powers to −8.00; each product page lists the exact powers for that design. Plano (0.00) versions are the rest of the range.
What is the Halloween order deadline for Canada?
October 1 for 2026. That gives the 14 to 20 day window room to clear October 31 with time to test-wear.
Do you have a Canadian warehouse?
No. Every order ships from our supplier warehouse on the same route as US orders. We say so plainly because a "ships from Canada" claim would change what you expect from the delivery window, and it would not be true.
Will winter delay my order?
Sealed lenses are unaffected by cold. Weather can push the final Canada Post leg toward the top of the 14 to 20 day range on rural and northern routes.
Is shipping free to Canada?
Over US$69 in the cart, yes. Below that it is US$10.99. One standard service is the only option we offer.
