Chat with people in Canada
Most stranger-chat sites drop you into a random conversation anywhere on the planet, often in the middle of someone else's night. Always Somebody looks close to home first, so Canadians meet Canadians who share their time zone, their weather and their hockey arguments.
How "near me first" works in Canada
- We start with people within about 100 km of you.
- After a few seconds, if nobody is free, we look across your province, or anyone within about 600 km.
- A few seconds later, across Canada, or anyone within about 2,500 km.
- After that, anywhere in the world, so you're never left waiting for long.
Your chat partner only sees your province and that you're in Canada. Never your city or your exact location. Want to skip straight to the world? Choose Anywhere.
Every province and territory
Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Wherever you are, the search starts in your own area and your own province before it goes further.
Save the people you click with
If you both tap Save, you become friends and can message each other later, even when one of you is offline. It's an easy way to keep a good conversation going across the country.
Free, anonymous, adults only
- Text chat is free. No sign-up, email or phone number.
- For adults 18 and over.
- Chats with strangers aren't stored. Only messages between saved friends are kept.
- If you need help right now, the help page lists 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline, and Kids Help Phone.
When it's quiet
Always Somebody is new, so evenings are busier than mornings. If nobody is free, you can chat with Sunny, our AI, while you wait. Sunny is always labelled as an AI, and you stay in line for a real person.
