We know that Apple is launching their iPad on April 3rd in the USA. Recent news revealed that pre-orders are sold out and the next batch of iPads are coming April 12th. What about Canada though? Apple explained International iPad availability will come in ‘late April’.

April 24th Black Out Date For Apple Store Employees in Canada?

We were contacted by a source with close ties to the Apple Store that the weekend of April 24th has been marked as a “black out period” for staff. This means no employees are allowed to book this day off. If that’s the case, then it would make sense that this indeed would be the launch date for the iPad in Canada. Anytime there’s a “black out period” you know it’s for something big.

What About iPad Pre-Orders for Canada?

The USA was able to pre-order the iPad on March 12th, three weeks (plus a day) before the April 3rd launch. If Canadians are going to get a chance to pre-order the iPad, we would assume a similar timetable. Three weeks before the (supposed) April 24th launch date is April 3rd. My prediction is that Canada will be able to pre-order the iPad on Friday, April 2nd–the day before the US launch. Hey, at least you can still pre-order your invisibleSHIELD from ZAGG for 20% off!

When do you think the iPad will be launched in Canada? Does the April 24th launch date seem plausible? Mark your calendars, folks.

Hey, this is useful information! Thanks for the insight. I'll be looking to pre-order as soon as I can.

Cheers. It's all speculation but if the Apple source is correct, April 24th is going to a magical day for Canadians.

That's a lot of days to wait!

Please let that be the date! I'm going to Dubai on April 28 and want the iPad and camera connector.

I dont think that is possible
haven't heard anything
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca Gary

haha, I'm sure you'll make it…or will you?
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca Gary

I would be so happy to be able to have the iPad and travel! Let's hope this is the date!

PS – I've been to Dubai a couple times! where are you visiting while you're there??
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca Gary

Until it's proved wrong, we'll have to wait and see. Do you know someone that works at an Apple store?

This week seems to be all about gearing up for the US launch on Saturday. The tutorial videos came out today, and it looks like there will be an iTunes update coming this week to add iPad support. Once the US launch is out of the way, I image pricing and availability for Canada, Europe, etc. will follow.

Here's the questions I'd love to have answered:
1) Will a US iPad be able to subscribe to Rogers or Bell without being jailbroken?

2) Will a Canadian user be able to choose between subscribing to Bell and Rogers? And will they be able to change this monthly if they wish? Reception at my cottage is much better on Bell, for instance.

3) Will a Canadian iPad be able to register with AT&T when I travel to the US? Or, will I have to buy two separate iPads?
http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ Mr. Ex

1.) Yes, because the iPad 3G + WiFi is unlocked

2.) Canadian carrier support has not yet been announced

3.) See question 1

I'm a Canadian who just happened to be in Honolulu on iPad launch date….had one reserved. Worked out perfect because I by-passed the MASSES of people trying to get one in hopes that a reserved one didn't sell….it was a NUT HOUSE. But I just walked right in…had a demo…and purchased my 32 G WiFi iPad. Downside is I can't access the app store until it actually launches in Canada….

I went to the Apple store yesterday and an employee told me 3-4 weeks for the iPad, WiFi or 3G. He said that he expected both to be launched at the same time, but didn't have an exact date. I was surprised he gave me as much information as he did.

Has anyone tweeted or sent an email to Rogers, Telus or Bell? I am very surprised that not one of them have them have made any kind of announcement yet.

I will wait for the second generation. Lots of people complaint about iPad's wifi problem.

We are traveling in California and will be here for nearly two months. My wife bought an iPad with our Canadian credit card and used her Canadian iTunes ID at the time of purchase. But it appears that we are unable to purchase the Apple application “Pages” which she needs in order to use it. It doesn't show up on my Macbook's iTunes program. Apple support is at a loss to tell us what to do. Not very nice, eh?

Anybody know how to get around this or should we just return the iPad and wait til we get home?

Thanks,

Apple.ca stills says available late April in Canada. Hope we get a definitive date in the next week or so.
paul

thank you sooooo much!

Simply create a US iTunes account. Go to Settings and then Account and sign out of your current Canadian account on the iPad. Then go online with iTunes on a computer and create a new account with a US location. You'll need either a US credit card number or a US gift card number for the iTunes store. Back on the iPad, sign in with the new US account and purchase Pages.

Easier method is to just wait until the 24th

i am planning to go to Dubai, which airline is the cheapest ? emirate's flight costs about 2000.

Confirmed. Apple has also updated the Canadian website to say 'Late May'.

http://www.squidoo.com/Where-To-Buy-iPad Where to buy iPad

A word to the wise – buy your iPad from the US (ebay, amazon..) before you go. Don't buy your iPad from Dubai, unless you want to get ripped off BADLY. I read an article yesterday which said the prices of the iPad in Dubai was over TWICE as much as the USA. So the 16GB model is going for $1,100+! And apparently one store was sold out!
http://www.squidoo.com/iPad-Canada iPad Canada Price

My guess is about $50 – $90 more than the US prices. This is based on other Apple products after I compared their US and Canadian prices.
http://www.squidoo.com/iPad-Canada iPad Canada

@Gary (guest): I travel to Dubai from Canada frequently and it costs me ~ CAD1400 on emirates. Depends on the time of year though, if you're going before mid-may this year you can get that price, but after that it's going to sky-rocket to upwards to $2000. I once tried British Airways which was about $200-$300 cheaper, but the experience was NOT worth it. Who knows, they might have upgraded their planes now but when I went (7 months ago) it was a looong flight. The extra hundred buck or 2 is well worth it!
