usa verizon locked phone being taken to canada permanently

I didn't realize that Verizon was a carrier in Canada? You would not be able to use a phone locked to Verizon with a Canadian network. Are you sure this is what you want to do. If you purchase a phone in the US, you would want an unlocked phone if you want to use a Canadian carrier.

If the iPhone is already unlocked, then you should be alright. The title of your post said that it was locked. You better be sure.
