Canadian Literary Periodicals
The button below takes you to a list of the literary periodicals in Canada, as recognized by the Canadian Magazine Awards (check out the rest of their News & Resources section too).
When you're looking for a journal to send your work, it's a good idea to begin by purchasing the latest issue, and reading the work they publish, or at least exploring their website, so you can get a sense of whether or not your work is a good fit for their publication.
Be sure to read and adhere to their submission guidelines.
