Where to Buy Neodymium Magnets in Canada: A Buyer’s Guide
Whether you’re sourcing magnets for production or a workshop project, you need the right size and strength, a clear price and a delivery timeline you can plan around. When comparing where to buy neodymium magnets in Canada, look for a supplier who can explain the options, confirm availability and help you determine whether a product will suit your application.
At Jobmaster Magnets Canada, we sell neodymium magnets online, ship stock products across Canada and manufacture custom magnetic assemblies. If you’re not sure which option you need, our team can help you work through the specification before you order.
Comparing Your Buying Options in Canada
There are a few different ways to buy magnets, and the right route depends on what you’re looking for.
| Buying route | When it may suit you | What to check before ordering |
| Canadian magnet specialist | You need help choosing a magnet or assessing a custom requirement. | Product specifications, application suitability, quantity and timing. |
| Industrial distributor | You have a set specification and an existing supplier account. | Availability of the exact size and grade, and access to technical support. |
| Online marketplace | You are comparing clearly specified standard parts. | The actual seller, where the order ships from, total delivered cost and return terms. |
Price is obviously part of the decision, but it’s only useful when you’re comparing like-for-like. A cheaper magnet isn’t much of a saving if it’s the wrong size, grade or coating for your application.
What to Check Before Ordering
Size, Shape and Mounting
Start with the available space and how the magnet will be secured, whether with adhesive, in a recess or as part of a screw-mounted assembly. Check the product dimensions against your design and note any gap between the magnet and the holding surface.
Holding Force in Your Setup
Rated pull force is normally measured with the magnet touching a thick steel plate and being pulled straight off. A gap, paint or a load that slides along the surface can reduce the usable holding force.
Choose for the actual load and mounting conditions, then test the magnet in the real assembly.
Grade and Magnetic Strength
Our range includes N35, N40, N42 and N52. N35 suits general-purpose holding, signage and workshop use. N40 and N42 offer higher magnetic strength than N35 in magnets of the same size and shape, and are used in closures, mounting systems and engineering assemblies. N52 is the highest grade in our range and is useful where space is limited.
Be sure to compare size and required performance as well as grade, and confirm temperature suitability for the specific product. Our magnet grades guide explains the differences.
Heat
Neodymium magnets generally have lower temperature resistance than ceramic magnets, although the exact limit depends on the magnet.
If the magnet will be used near an engine, heating equipment, machinery or another heat source, don’t rely on a general temperature figure. The magnet’s grade and design need to be suitable for the actual conditions.
Coating and Environment
Neodymium can corrode if moisture reaches the magnetic material, which is why these magnets are commonly supplied with a protective coating.
Nickel is widely used across our range, while selected products are available with black epoxy coatings. The right choice depends on where the magnet will be used and what it will come into contact with.
For continuous exposure to water, chemicals or other harsh conditions, it’s worth discussing the application before choosing a coating. Another magnet material may also be worth considering.
For example, our rare earth selection guide looks at a project where a customer needed a strong magnetic hold across a gap at high temperature. Samarium cobalt was considered because of its heat resistance, but factors including brittleness, cost, service life and the required shape also had to be taken into account.
If you’re unsure what will work, contact us with the basics: what the magnet needs to do, the space available, the operating conditions, how many you need and when you need them.

Get Practical Advice Before You Buy
You don’t need to have the perfect magnet specification worked out before you contact us.
Tell us what you’re trying to hold, move, close or secure, along with the space you have available and the conditions the magnet will be working in. From there, we can talk through suitable options and the trade-offs involved.
That might mean finding a standard stock magnet that does exactly what you need. It might mean looking at a different grade or shape. For some applications, a custom magnet or assembly will make more sense.
Check Shipping Costs and Timing Before Ordering
The product price is only part of what you’ll pay, so our basket shows estimated shipping costs before you place your order.
Most orders are dispatched within one to three business days, subject to availability. Delivery time is additional.
If you need your magnets by a particular date, get in touch before ordering. We can confirm current availability and give you a better idea of the expected timing.
Collection from our Oakville location can also be arranged.
Access Custom Design and Manufacturing
Standard magnets cover a lot of applications, but sometimes the dimensions, mounting arrangement or performance you need simply aren’t available off the shelf.
In that case, our in-house design, engineering and manufacturing services can help you develop a custom magnetic assembly.
You can discuss custom magnet solutions with the same team that handles our stock products. We’ll look at what you’re trying to achieve and discuss the available options before you commit to a custom order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Quickly Will My Order Arrive?
Most orders are dispatched within one to three business days, subject to availability. Carrier transit time is additional. Our shipping information explains the ordering and delivery process.
The cart shows estimated shipping costs. For a specific deadline, contact us to confirm availability and timing. Collection in Oakville can be arranged.
Will a Neodymium Magnet Hold on Stainless Steel?
It depends on the stainless steel grade. Some grades are strongly magnetic, while others are weakly magnetic or non-magnetic.
A quick magnet test can check for attraction, but test the intended magnet with the actual load and mounting conditions before relying on the hold.
