See https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/feature-availability/

They're a medical device, so they have to approved by the relevant authorities. In Australia that's the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), in the US it's the FDA, and in the UK it's the MHRA.

Canada is not on the current availability list, which presumably means that Health Canada is yet to approve their usage as a hearing aid.
