Hey I found this thread and it might interest you https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4389870?tstart=0
It is about Canada and unlocked/locked phones.  From reading the thread I am not sure what is possible in Canada at the moment

  • I have had my old iPhone 4S unlocked by my provider. I have given the phone to my husband and we want to erase my data and get him an Apple ID so he can put his data on the iPhone  will this lock the phone?

    I have had my iPhone 4S unlocked by my provider. I am successfully using a monthly plan and a new SIM card. I have given the iPhone to my husband. We would like to erase my data so my husband can add his and use the Cloud to back up his data. If we go through the erase process what is the safest way to do this so we don't re-lock the phone and disable the current SIM card?

    Hi
    If it was unlocked legitimately it will never relock. As you said you have sent this to your carrier to unlock this will always be unlocked however many times you restore the phone.
    Hope this helps

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

  • I 'm French and i want to buy the iphone 5 unlocked in USA

    Hello i'am French and i want to buy the Iphone 5 unlocked in USA. Because i will go to USA. Is it possible ? And how i would do it ?
    Thank You !

    Well mate, this is a bit complicated here in North America (being from Europe myself): in the USA you can as of now only purchase phones locked to the three major carriers and they only support the "local" LTE bands. In Canada (where I live) on the other hand, you can purchase unlocked iPhones (if available!) from any Apple Store. However they also only support the North American LTE frequencies, while in Europe they are slightly different. This is the reason, why Apple sells three different iPhone 5: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/iphone5-lte-model/.
    So to prevent hassle, I would strongly recommend to purchase the iPhone 5 in Europe.
    Good luck!

  • How can i get my iphone 4s unlocked to any carrier?

    How can i get my iphone 4s unlocked to any carrier?

    You must contact the carrier it is currently locked to and get them to unlock the iPhone.  Apple will not do this as it is part of the subsidized contract with the carriers.

  • If i buy the iphone 4s unlocked, it will work in israel?

    What if it's a Verizon iPhone?
    Are all iPhones originally made "for" a carrier? If I'm in an electronics store (not a carrier store) and they have an iPhone for sale, do I need to ask what carrier it is for? I know for sure that it works with AT&T phones which are GSM.
    I heard Verizon iPhones can't be unlocked for foreign GSM SIMS except by Verizon, who will only do it for customers, ie if u have a contract.
