There’s no set release date for Google Home in Canada, but stay tuned for updates. Pricing for Google Home currently stands at $129 USD, so expect the Canadian pricing to be around $175 or so.

Canadians still do not have official support for Amazon’s Echo products, so the addition of Google Home is a good thing. Apple is rumoured to announce their own Siri speaker product at WWDC, which takes place on June 5-9.

Earlier today, Google announced a dedicated Assistant app is set to debut for iPhone owners.
