The iPad 2 launch starts tomorrow in Canada, with a 5pm retail launch and a 1am PDT online launch. How badly do you want an iPad 2? If you’re serious about nabbing one, despite all the talk of shortages, you better start getting in line–NOW. Apple’s online store already has a display page up for orders.

At the Apple Store in Eaton’s Centre in Toronto, the line up has already started. The following image shows the first people in line, courtesy of @shizzy184 (image taken by @aMAYzin):

Nice work fellas! I started my line up for the iPhone 4 at around 6:30pm the night before, but these guys have put me to shame. If you’re in line, please send us a line via twitter @iPadinCanada and we’ll post your pictures up here.

    Future Shop in Burlington (Guelph Line) had 150 ipads. No line-ups. I walked in at 4:55 pm and picked one up. As of 5:30 pm when I left, they had no one in line and about 50 left. If you are in Burlington, I’d give them a try. Very organized at the store.

    I got 4 iPads with my brothers at our local best buy (Ajax, ON)
    We started the lineup at about 4Pm so we didn’t really wait too long
    They gave us tickets so we guaranteed the model we wants
    We left the store at around 6
    It was nice experience.

  • Jayo6969

    did they have many left???

  • Spuddie

    Picked up a 32gb wifi at london drugs in Ladner (BC) All they received was five 32bg wifi’s and 5 smart covers . They had a sign up sheet for a new shipment they said was arriving on Tues Morning but they weren’t sure what it would be. Thanks Gary for the heads up on the line up at Richmond Center last night. Hope you got one

    finally got back from Richmond Center in Canada, got there at 7am was about 147 in line, everyone was so hyped up this launch was great well planned out, they have people taking the unlit the day, by 3 they begin passing out tickets so people with tickets are grantee one and when. The tickets were out they let people know and they can choose to leave to stay in line for a chance.
    I wanted the White 32gb 3G but when it came close to me I was told it was gone. All white 3G was out only wifi and 16gb black is gone too, so I was going to settle with black, but luckily when they came to me they told me there’s a few 64gb left so I took 2 one for myself and one for my sister who paid for me :D , overall my 12 hours there was worth it, made some really nice new friends there too., my fellow apple freak lol..wonder if any of them read this? hit me up guys, let me know how ur liking ur new toy!
    Glad to be home in Bellingham, WA to play with it
