It should work fine. But you WON'T be able to use eSim on an iPhone purchased in China, as iPhones made for the China, Hong Kong and Macau markets are dual Physical Sim only. And you won't have warranty on the phone in Canada. If you need to have the phone replaced or serviced, you'll have to go back to China.
