For many Indian families in Canada, building a business is about more than just profit; it's about creating a legacy, sharing cultural heritage, and building a new dream in their adopted home. From the bustling suburbs of Toronto to the scenic landscapes of Vancouver, the demand for authentic, high-quality Indian fashion is immense, driven by vibrant community events, grand wedding seasons, and a deep connection to tradition.
But how do you bridge the thousands of kilometers to the textile heartland of Surat, India, to source products you can be proud to sell?
This guide is your definitive answer. Yadu Nandan Fashions (YNF) and our export brand, Keevaa Exporters, are not just suppliers; we are dedicated partners to the hundreds of Indo-Canadian entrepreneurs who trust us to help build their dreams.
To succeed in Canada, you need to cater to a diverse and knowledgeable customer base.
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) & Brampton: This is the epicenter of demand for lavish bridal lehengas, traditional sarees, and especially, a wide variety of Punjabi suits. The wedding and festival seasons here are massive, requiring high-quality, trend-focused inventory.
Vancouver & British Columbia: A strong market for both traditional wear and contemporary Indo-Western fusion pieces that fit a modern, active lifestyle.
Calgary & Alberta: A growing demand for festive wear for events like Diwali and Vaisakhi, with a focus on both family outfits (including menswear and kidswear) and elegant formal wear.
Our Advantage: We understand this regional diversity. Our weekly new catalogs ensure you can stock the specific styles your community desires, whether it's the latest Punjabi suit design for Toronto or a chic fusion gown for a Vancouver charity gala.
We have a simple, transparent, and reliable logistics chain to all major Canadian provinces.
Transparent Costs: Our international ordering process provides a final, all-inclusive Proforma Invoice with the exact shipping cost to Canada before you pay. No hidden fees.
Customs & Duties: As the Canadian importer, you are responsible for any applicable customs duties and GST/HST. This is a standard process, and we provide all necessary compliant export documentation to ensure a smooth clearance process with the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency).
Delivery Time: Once dispatched from our factory in Surat, you can expect your tracked and insured parcel to arrive at your Canadian address within 7-20 working days.
