Both use HSDPA / GSM.
From what I understand, the current generation kindle does not use the Sprint network at all.
It seems odd that the Canadian kindle is now the international kindle instead of the US one. I bought a kindle 3 when it first came out in Canada and it is the AT&T version (identical to what is sold in the US). I was about to place another order for a christmas gift and now it is forcing the purchase of an international kindle as has been mentioned earlier.
I think that purchasing a kindle in the US and bringing it to Canada may be the only way to get one in time for Christmas, and I don't imagine there would be any consequences to that as it would be an identical kindle to what I have now.
Additionally, when you move you can change your kindle registration address, so I don't imagine that you would need to wait until you're back in Canada to register as one has noted above. Just register with your Canadian address and add your Kindle to your account. Even if you are physically in the US at the time it shouldn't care.

See post #7 in this thread (from Daffy.) In Canada, we get the US version, not the international version.
Also, if you look at the coverage maps (also linked earlier in thread), you will see that the US version works just fine in European countries.
