I don't know, but am curious to see if Apple Pay already would work in Canada given a US Credit or Debit Card and a POS / EFT terminal with NFC. It would appear to be more a function of the POS and EFT Software in-use. If, for example a Retailer in Canada is using NFC for the Tendering portion of a transaction then the System may not actually know it was Apple Pay that rendered the Credit or Debit Tender. In this country (USA), CVS for example actually accepted Apple Pay on the first day of the Apple Pay release. CVS specifically had their stores turn NFC 'Off' to disable Apple Pay. The only reason they did that was due to their exclusive contract related to the CurrentC payment system yet to be released.
