Generally, no — if you’re only in the Amazon Associates program in Canada, you usually can’t “claim” free product samples just because you plan to do an affiliate review. Associates is mainly a link/referral program, not a sample-request program.

What can work instead:

  • Ask the brand or seller directly for a review sample.
  • Check whether Amazon.ca has any creator/influencer features available in Canada right now.
  • If you receive a free product, disclose it clearly and avoid posting biased or incentivized reviews.

Canada compliance basics:

  • Disclose affiliate links clearly.
  • Disclose free products clearly.
  • Follow current Amazon review rules and Canada’s advertising disclosure guidance.

Bottom line: usually no from Amazon alone; yes only through a brand/seller relationship or a qualifying creator-style program.
