All carriers in Canada are GSM, so I imagine the iPhones sold in Canada are the GSM only models.
That's NOT a true statement at all, since Canada has been selling unlocked iPhone from day 1, which is capatible with any carrier in the USA

Weird. So my reservation at the Apple Store in Metrotown didn't work out and they had no stock when I went down to get my "reserved" iPhone.
Checked tonight at 11:30 and it again showed the 7 Plus 256GB available for pickup at Metrotown tomorrow. So I proceeded to the checkout and paid for the iPhone.
I'm going to be pissed if they don't have my phone after charging my credit card. Reserving and not having is one thing, but accepting payment is quite another.

I picked up my reserved 128GB iPhone 7 Plus in Black today. Fairview in Toronto. 12:30-1pm window.
Yes I realize that you can buy unlocked iPhones at the Apple Store from day 1 in Canada (I live in Canada and bought my 6s this way). Since there are two different versions this year (a GSM only version with an Intel modem and and a GSM/CDMA model with a Qualcomm modem) and all carriers in Canada are GSM it is likely that the iPhones sold unlocked in Canada are the GSM only models since they will work with all Canadian carriers.
I pre ordered my watch on the 9th and gave me an estimated date of the 30th! Well ups says I'm getting it Tuesday!
Interesting about Canadian operators all being GSM now. Wikipedia states CDMA still being phased out until early next year, but I guess no one is actually on it?

So no go for the Qualcomm modem version from Canada...

I depends where in the country. Bell and Telux had CDMA networks and decided to completely overbuild the CDMA networks, which was mostly complete in the late 2000s. As far as I know, Telus has shut down their network. Bell still maintains the legacy network for now since some police services still used it for their squad car connectivity.
It's true that Telus and Bell did have CDMA 2G networks, but they overbuilt the existing network with HSPA+ in the late 2000s and have been shutting down and phasing out the older CDMA network with final shutdown in January 2017. I believe they stopped activating CDMA devices several years ago.
Hello everyone
I was wondering which model is being sold in Canada CDMA or GSM. Can any of you take a look what you got
Thank you
Assuming major markets such as Canada and all of Europe only get the GSM (Intel) variant, does that mean Apple is using Intel for the vast majority of the iPhone 7 production run, instead of a 50-50 split with the CDMA/GSM (Qualcomm) variant?
The batch for the U.S. may be more evenly split (due to Verizon/Sprint), but I'm guessing Asia and most of the other markets may only get a minority of the Qualcomm variant?
