Used salwar kameezes in Ottawa typically sell for C$23 to C$170 (about $16 to $120). A salwar kameez sells as a complete set, so confirm all three pieces are present and say whether the kameez has been stitched to a specific size or is unstitched.
Selling a salwar kameez in Ottawa
Public service postings and academic terms both move people on predictable schedules. Winter sports equipment appears in spring and disappears by late autumn, which is a reliable pattern to buy against.
The city is straightforward to drive with plenty of parking, though the river divides the region and crossing it adds real time. Winter is long enough here to be a genuine planning constraint on anything bulky.

Ottawa, in Ontario, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Toronto, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ottawa
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
