Not necessarily. It seems as if Kobo's doing some sneaky-peaky spying to verify actual physical location when one claims to be in Canada, but if you're actually in Canada that won't be a problem. No clue if you'd have to change your address temporarily or not, though.

ETA: Verifying location through IP is something Amazon's been doing for yonks, so I don't see where gratitude is due here!
