Why can’t I carry gel candles on a US flight?
TSA classifies gel-type candles as gels — like any gel over 100 ml they are barred from the cabin. Checked bags are fine, and solid wax candles are unrestricted.

Yes. CATSA’s candle entry permits candles — gel included — in both carry-on and checked baggage, a genuine US–Canada rule split.
