McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport
Vancouver is home to one of the most beautiful outlets in Canada. It is the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport, which, as you might guess from its name, is right next to the airport in Vancouver. Its owners are the English group McArthurGlen, who also have shopping centres of this type in European cities such as Rome, Paris, Berlin and Liverpool.
This one in particular has a rather elegant open-air design. But without a doubt the best thing is the quality of the shops there. They include luxury brands such as Jimmy Choo, Armani, Versace and Hugo Boss. They are joined by Polo Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Ted Baker, Sandro, Tory Burch and the Canadian brand Roots.
Premium Outlet Collection EIA
The above is not the only major outlet in Canada that is close to an airport. The Premium Outlet Collection EIA is just a few meters away from the Edmonton International Airport. It is the largest discount shopping center in this area of Alberta and has a presence of major brands from various parts of the world. Lucky Brand, Kate Spade, Old Navy, Urban Planet, Tommy Hilfiger or Laura are some of the most visited stores in the Edmonton outlet. These are accompanied by sports brands such as Columbia, Nike, Under Armour and New Balance, among many others.

As for the outlet’s commercial offering, it is quite complete as it includes stores of famous brands, as well as two multi-brand discount stores with several interesting things: Winners and Saks Off Fifth.

With discounts of up to 70% off, if you want to have an afternoon of shopping in Ottawa without spending a lot, we recommend that you go to the Tanger Outlets. In this outlet in the country’s capital there are almost 50 stores always with promotions. We recommend that you go to see the new arrivals in the Tommy Hilfiger, Old Navy, Lululemon, Carter’s, American Eagle and Eddie Bauer stores.
Marshalls is one of the largest stores in the outlet and is famous for having clothes from good brands with discounts that you won’t believe. There is absolutely everything (from underwear, accessories, dresses or even products for the home) with very low prices although since there are so many things it will take a while to see everything.
Cross Iron Mills
The CrossIron Mills, located in Calgary, is not only one of the largest outlet malls in Canada, but it is also in the top 10 of the largest malls in the country. This place is huge and combines both outlet stores (which make up the vast majority of its commercial directory) and full-price stores. For example, here you can go to the outlet stores of Brooks Brothers, Puma, Calvin Klein, Adidas, Forever 21, GAP or the shoe store Johnston & Murphy.
You can also go to the Miniso gift shop, the Hot Topic store that sells products and clothing based on TV series, anime and movies, or even the Toys R Us toy store.

Dixie Outlet Mall
The Dixie Outlet Mall is the largest of all the outlets in Canada. It is located between Mississauga and Toronto and has around a hundred stores. Toronto Premium Outlets may have more high-end brands, but this one is no slouch.
This is thanks to brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Bluenotes and Calvin Klein as well as sports stores like Nike and Adidas. There are also several local brands that offer very interesting things. Something very unique about Dixie Outlet Mall is that in its basement the famous Fantastic Flea Market is held. It has been running for over 4 decades and they sell everything you can imagine so it is worth a visit as well.
