When Will the iPhone 5 Launch in Canada?

Earlier today AllThingsD broke the news Apple’s iPhone 5 media event is set to take place on October 4th. If the announcement happens that day, how many days until the actual launch?

The iPhone 4 leads the way with 763,320 units sold, based on July 2011 data. Is the Canadian iPhone market a force to be reckoned with yet, Apple? Clearly, the numbers have shown we love the iPhone. So it only makes sense for Canada to be included in the initial batch of launch countries, don’t you agree?
