If that turns out to be true for all 5th gen iPad minis then it would indicate that Apple's article needs to be updated. I don't have one of these iPads so I can't attest to, whether or not, it comes with either.
I suggest that you click on the "No" link for Helpful? to report your situation to Apple directly.
No way to know.
Maybe Apple is doing something different with its products in Canada?
I can't give you any answer other than if you want faster charging, you'll have to pay an Apple store in Canada the cost of upgrading to the 12W power/charge adapter or upgrade to the more expensive, faster charging 18W USB-C power/charge adapter and the Apple USB-C to Lightning charging cable.
I am thinking about purchasing these two accessories for my older iPad Pro just to get a little faster charging time for my own iPad Pro.
I just purchased my wife's iPad last week from Amazon.
It is a brand new, WiFi ONLY, 2019 iPad, 128 GBs storage, 7th gen iPad.
No refurbished. Everything all Apple in the box. The Apple power/charge block is a 12W power block.
How long ago did you purchase this 7th gen iPad for your mom?
Maybe Apple switched to shipping these 7th gen iPads with the 12W power/charge adapter, instead.
On Jan 20 I purchased an iPad mini 5th gen for myself, and 2019 iPad 7th gen for Mom, directly from Apple Store Canada.
Both arrived before end of month, both have 10W charger adapter.
Do you think a mistake was made in packaging? Seems so unlikely...
From the link it lists iPad mini 5th gen in the 12W category but I also only received a 10W charger in my box.
My wife’s 2019, 7th gen iPad came with a 12W Apple power/charging block.
And yet my Mom's 7th gen iPad came with a 10W power adapter too.
We're also in Canada.
Apple must have decided it was a better fit for battery lifespan, or a waste of unusable charging capacity.
