Billing Address Brazil

I know sending gifts to people in other countries has many limitations: Gifting in another country - http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting#services

On the other hand if you were in Canada and walked into an Apple Store there and put down your credit card to buy a Mac I don't see them refusing it. It may be you have to do something like telephone in an order and arrange for her to pick it up, if it doesn't work to do the same thing online with her picking it up.

Direct gifting is not easy. Probably to prevent money laundering and people trying to get around import and export duties, etc. The same restrictions would apply to buying in the USA and sending it to Canada as would apply to you buying it in Brasil. Your friend could buy it but would have to declare it when taking it to Canada and they would impose their taxes on the item since it would be above the duty-free amount. Why don't you just send her the money with instructions it is for a computer?

I can't point to any specific topic here but I am remembering seeing posts where people wanted to buy a device in another country and were told they could do it but then somebody (either they or a friend) would have to pick it up in that country since International shipping is not possible. That is why I am wondering why you can't buy it for her and have her pick it up, or if it may even be possible to order it over the phone and have it shipped inside Canada. I don't know without calling Apple myself, and I will let you do that. 🙂
