Adopted what technology? Canada has had chip tech and tap-to-pay tech in their various debit and credit cards for a while but I've never seen tap-to-pay work with a phone here in Canada. On top of that, Google Wallet has not yet been rolled out to work in Canada or internationally for that matter, even with their physical Google Wallet cards. If you attempt to make a purchase with the physical card, it will be declined and you'll receive a notification saying that international (non-US) purchases are not supported. Apple Pay additionally does not work in Canada. Given the first point made, there's no reason for them to activate it soon anyway because our hardware won't work out of the gate regardless.
