Quick Verdict
Wegovy is the only semaglutide injection approved by Health Canada specifically for chronic weight management. It is highly effective: clinical trials showed an average 15% body weight loss over 68 weeks when combined with diet and activity changes.
The trade-offs are cost and access. Wegovy typically costs $540–$570 CAD per month without insurance, no provincial drug plans cover it, and supply can be inconsistent. If you qualify and can afford it (or have private coverage), Wegovy is currently the most effective prescription weight loss medication available in Canada.
