from the Sirius Website

6.*Is SIRIUS available in Canada or Mexico?

*****At this time SIRIUS is only licensed to offer service within the continental United States. However, we are taking steps to become a licensed broadcaster throughout Canada: check out this press release for more information.

I had fine reception with Sirius up into Michigan's upper peninsula (say yah to the UP, eh?). That's farther north than parts of Canada obviously. It's my understanding that Sirius has three satellites circulating over Minnesota (good for Canada, not great for Alaska or Hawaii). XM has two satellites, one each over the coasts (good for the US, maybe not central Canada). If you could get Sirius installed, I think you need to use a US address to get activated. Once activated, it should work in Canada.
