Kanada Geyikleri
Most content-producing Turkish-language channel within Canada
Kanada Geyikleri was founded in 2017 by Eray and Evren, two friends who met during their high school years in Kocaeli and have maintained their friendship ever since.
The channel was created to share their thoughts, advice, experiences, and challenges about life in Canada after moving there, with the goal of presenting their knowledge and insights in an entertaining way.
Now entering its 7th year, Kanada Geyikleri has become the most content-producing Turkish-language channel within Canada, serving as a bridge between Türkiye and Canada.

Katalog Kanada is Canada's leading business directory and community platform for Turkish and Turkish-speaking Canadians. Founded in 2015 by Onur Kus and operated in partnership with Berkan Kirpik, it has grown from a mobile app into a central hub connecting businesses and communities across the country.
Now celebrating its 12th year, the app has been downloaded over 30,000 times and has become a trusted resource for the community.
Beyond its comprehensive business directory, Katalog Kanada features local events, a Canada Life Guide for newcomers, Turkish media channels, and many other helpful tools and resources, making it an essential companion for anyone navigating life in Canada.
