If you want free samples of the latest and greatest new med, yes. Unfortunately, it may also involve being a guinea pig for new side effects, new withdrawal symptoms and often ends up costing a lot of money. In addition, a lot of 'new' meds are just overpriced me-too drugs and patent extenders eg. Pristiq. Perhaps Canada are excessively strict, but there is a lot to be said for being cautious when it comes to new medications which will end up being prescribed for millions of people.

The European authorities appear to be similar in 'strictness' to the FDA, but they sometimes have differing opinions. You have some meds and we don't and vice versa. Also depends on whether the manufacturers applied for approval. Overall, there are many more meds available in the US.
