What happened to "Canada" as being pending on this list of countries for the ECG app? Now it has been totally removed. Are there still plans to bring the ECG app to Canada (& if yes, when)?

I have been waiting for this since the day I purchased my Sense. We need this feature. It is part of the reason why I chose Sense over Withings scanwatch, but if this doesn't get the feature soon, I'll be forced to return it. Please listen to the Canadian customers. Thanks.
Super disappointed Fitbit didn't include Canada for ECG app. Only reason I bought it. Will be returning it and posting on Twitter, FB, Instagram etc...
Any news on release date for the ECG app I'm Canada. Eben an estimate would be helpful, or some info on steps that fitbit is going through to get it on Canadian sense watches?
I’m also in the market for a smart watch especially one with the ECG capability. I will buy a Sense Fitbit only if this app is on it. Please expedite it’s approval in Canada. thanks
I want to upgrade my Fitbit but am wanting ECG for Canada first. Does anyone know another brand that works in Canada? Having trouble finding next best option
I am holding purchase and getting mighty tempted to buy the apple watch despite having invested 2 years in Fitbit. I had a similar question which was answered but, frankly, based on a non-answer, ignored on FB a few weeks back.
Fitbit: you’ll lose on the Canadian market if this isn’t addressed by X mas. Good luck. And you should be posting an update based on all these comments. Your silence is deafening!
I have been using Fitbit for more than 5 years now. I tried to switch to the Apple Watch twice but came back to Fitbit. That said... the need for the ability to have ECG in Canada is just as important as it is in other countries. Without this feature (and soon) I, and many of my fellow Canadians will have no choice but to look for a device that will meet this very important need.
I hope the Fitbit mods will see this and take it to heart.... so that we can protect ours!
I will not buy this fitbit, despite really wanting one, without access to the ECG app. Please provide some confirmation that it's coming and some idea of when. Your clients understand that it's a process and there is significant hurdles to clear with Health Canada. We're looking for confirmation the process has started and that there is an end date in sight.
Looking to order a smart watch for a friend with a heart condition. Really want the ECG app, but if it’s not available, will purchase another brand. I get so tired of technology not being available in Canada.
I bought the Sense specifically for the ECG capability. If this isn’t available in Canada I will return it. Please respond to the many people who are asking for this information.
Just got mine today and didn’t realize the ecg app wasn’t available in Canada. It’s the entire reason I bought this specific one. Is anyone going to update as to when this will be available because honestly, I’ll return it and go with someone else if it’s not happening.
