## Quick answer

Four programmes accept people in Canada by their own pages, checked 11 Nov 2026: Claru names Canada and pays $10 an hour in US dollars by wire or Wise; Firsthand's Study 4 is open in Canada; Wake accepts North America; and Hub accepts the Americas, paying $3 an approved hour at home and $7 at work. Amelia Chores says it is available in the USA only, and DoorDash Tasks runs only in select US places.

## Key points

- Claru has a Canada listing: $10 an hour in US dollars, paid by wire or Wise every two weeks.
- Wake and Hub name regions that include Canada, not Canada itself.
- Amelia Chores is USA only, and DoorDash Tasks is US only.
- Mecka AI is searched in Canada, but its site does not invite individuals or state pay.

## Which apps say they accept Canada?

"Region" means the programme names a region that includes Canada rather than Canada itself.

| Programme | What you record | Stated pay | Payout |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Claru](https://claru.ai/jobs/household-capture-canada) | Household chores | $10/hr (USD) | Wire or Wise, every 2 weeks |
| [Firsthand](https://www.ifirsthand.com/capture-jobs/countries/canada) | Everyday activities (Study 4) | $38/hr base (collectors page) | Net 7 |
| [Wake](https://wake.inc/contribute/) (region) | Physical tasks you know well | From $6 per approved hour | Not stated |
| [Hub](https://app.hubdata.org/) (region) | Tasks at home or at work | $3/hr home, $7/hr work | Bank transfer or USDC |


## How are you paid in Canada, and in which currency?

Claru's [Canada listing](https://claru.ai/jobs/household-capture-canada) sets the rate in US dollars and pays by international wire or Wise every two weeks. [Hub](https://app.hubdata.org/llms.txt) sets its rates in US dollars and pays by bank transfer or USDC (PIX payouts are in Brazilian reais). Firsthand publishes Net 7 payment terms. Wake does not state a payout method on its contributor page.


## Which apps say they are open worldwide?

These programmes do not name Canada, but say they accept people in any or most countries. Check the app for tasks in your area before you record.

- micro1: its everyday tasks page says it is open to everyone, globally, and pays every two weeks. No home rate is stated. Source: [micro1: everyday tasks page, read 11 Nov 2026](https://www.micro1.ai/experts/everyday-tasks).
- Firsthand: [teams and individuals in any country can apply](https://www.ifirsthand.com/for-collectors), with a $38 an hour base session rate and Net 7 payment.
- EgoVista: [open worldwide](https://www.egovista.app/contribute); the rate is shown per mission and paid by bank transfer.
- GoKuna: first-person household clips pay $10 per accepted clip and are [open worldwide](https://gokuna.com/physical-ai-data-collection-jobs), paid through [Stripe](https://gokuna.com/get-paid-to-record-videos-for-ai-training).
- Atlas Capture: sign-up is open in ["most countries"](https://www.atlascapture.io/llms.txt), but it does not list them, and pay varies by country.


## What about the apps people in Canada search for?

These names come up in Canadian searches.

- Amelia Chores: its site says it is [available in the USA only](https://ameliachores.com/), for now. [Amelia Chores review](https://origindatapartners.com/physical-ai/amelia-chores-review).
- Mecka AI: a well-funded company ([a $60M Series B](https://www.mecka.ai/)) whose site addresses robotics labs and enterprises. We found no public page inviting individuals or stating pay. The [Atlas Capture review](https://origindatapartners.com/physical-ai/is-atlas-capture-legit) covers the reported link between Mecka and Atlas.
- DoorDash Tasks: for Dashers in [select US places](https://about.doordash.com/en-us/news/introducing-doordash-tasks) only.
- Atlas Capture: open in "most countries" without listing them. [Atlas Capture review](https://origindatapartners.com/physical-ai/is-atlas-capture-legit).


## What is not stated?

No programme on this page states a Canadian-dollar rate; Claru and Hub set rates in US dollars.

Wake does not state a payout method; its stated rate starts at $6 per approved hour.


## How do you check an app before you record?

A few minutes of checking can save hours of unpaid recording.

- Find the country on the programme's own site or app listing, not in a social media post.
- Read the rate, the currency and whether it is per approved hour, per clip or an "up to" figure.
- Check the payout method and minimum: does it reach your GCash, UPI, PayPal, Wise or bank account, and are there fees?
- Never pay a fee to join, and never share a one-time password (OTP) or PIN.
- Read who owns the footage and whether you can delete it.
- Record one short task first and wait for the first payout before you record many hours.


## What we checked (11 November 2026)

On 11 November 2026 we read each programme's own pages in plain text and kept a verbatim quote for every country, rate and payout method on this page. A programme is listed for Canada only when its own page names the country or a region that contains it. For every other programme, see the [full list of apps that pay you to record chores](https://origindatapartners.com/physical-ai/apps-that-pay-you-to-record-chores).


## Run a crew or own a business?

Some programmes pay a business for footage of the work its team already does, and the owner decides each worker's share. If you run a business in Canada, [check whether your business qualifies](https://origindatapartners.com/physical-ai#qualify) and compare the [programmes that pay businesses, compared](https://origindatapartners.com/physical-ai/business-video-programs-compared). If your company also keeps records such as job files or work orders, [see what your company records are worth](https://origindatapartners.com/check-fit).
