I was a Canadian resident at the time, I just happen to buy the iPhone when I was in Denmark for a brief while. I reckon the iPhone has been turned on 90% in Canada, 5% in Denmark, and 5% in all other countries combined.

The country where the phone was purchased is what matters, not where it has been used.

You would need to make a claim under Danish consumer law (which may have stronger consumer protections than Canadian law?), or check if there are similar battery-gate cases in progress in Denmark and the EU.
 
If the model is Canadian localized (e.g. VC/A, CL/A), manufacture and activation date is within range, and device has not been replaced, then it may be because it's purchased from a carrier. Some carrier devices, for some reason do not have a validated purchase date according to Apple, even though it's been activated within the period. These serials seem to be invalid.

This is probably the reason. My iPhone 6 was purchased through a carrier and it didn’t work. My IPhone 7 did because it was bought directly from Apple.
 
I need to know why Québec always gets punched in the face for everything...
If you’re specifically talking about contests with the usual "excluding Quebec" legal mention, it was because of an old law that was abolished on October 27, 2023. If you see this mention somewhere, contact the company to inform them that this law is no longer active.

I should note that I don’t live in that province. I’m just wondering why I see Québec always being an exception to that rule in so many things (including contests and special offers).

Different consumer protection laws, language laws, and that province uses civil law instead of common law.

That was the reason for contests. Thankfully for residents of Quebec that law is not valid anymore, but unfortunately many don’t know. However, in the case of this iPhone class action, I believe there is another class action that was started in Quebec, but I’m not sure.

I did, on both my claimed phones. I'm not expecting anything at all, or at the very least I may get a couple runs to Timmies, to say nothing of anything north of 200 bucks. Either way, probably worth the attempt.
 
I can't believe this is still going on. By the time customers are paid out, they've brought out six more generations of iPhone.
 
You should be eligible then. However, I think you'll be excluded on a technicality since the serial number will have been registered in Denmark, not Canada. Class action settlement administrations are largely automated given the large number of people involved. Short of getting a lawyer to settle it for you personally, I think you're going to be excluded every time you try to submit. Not worth the few bucks they're probably sending our way.

Darn. Same thing here. Bought the phone while on vacation in the states but used in Canada 100% of the time.

Unfortunately serial number not valid.
