Nearly half of Canada's online time is spent on a mobile device
Some new information from analytics firm comScore, reveals that Canadians turn to a mobile device 49% of the time that they are online. Of that figure, 36% are using smartphones for online access and 13% are using tablets. Of the smartphone users, 51% are male and 49% female. It might be no surprise that looking at Canadian smartphone users by income, 39% are making more than $100,000, while those making under $25,000 are responsible for just 8% of smartphone use in the country.

The graph showing the age of Canadian smartphone users is also exactly what you would expect. Those 25 to 34 have a leading 22% of the country's smartphone audience, dropping off to 7% for those 65 and older. Altogether, there are 18 million active smartphones in Canada, up 12% since June 2013. 7.8 million tablets are employed in Canada, up 13% during that same time period. As for smartphone penetration, Canada places second with 78% of the country's cellphone users clutching a smartphone. That trails only Spain with its 83% smartphone penetration, and tops the U.K. (75%) and U.S. (73%).
