Where are you located to buy the phone? Are you also in Canada? If so, then you should be able to purchase the device they need. Best bet when purchasing from Apple is to purchase an unlocked device. Do you intend to purchase this online? If so, select the Connect on your own later. Then all they will need to do is go to the carrier and get an activated SIM.
