Linode has announced that beta testing has started for their Toronto data center Announcement: Toronto (CA) Data Center Beta | Linode Questions

Hey Linode Community -
We are ready to open the doors to our Toronto, CA data center for beta testing! All customers are welcome to participate (new and existing), but there are a few things to keep in mind beforehand:

Block Storage is not currently supported

IP Failover is not currently supported

IPv6 /116 Pools are not currently supported
( But we’ll make sure that you feel supported… )

So, when can I access the datacenter?

Right now!

Great! How do I sign up?

Simple. Open a ticket titled "Toronto Beta" to request access, and our team will get you added.

Do I need to do anything special to access the new Toronto data center?

Once you receive confirmation that you are successfully enrolled in the beta, "Toronto, CA" will appear in the list of available locations when creating a new Linode from the Cloud Manager. If you would like to test a Linode that you already have active, we recommend cloning the Linode over to our Toronto data center. Alternatively, you can reach out to our Support team to request a migration.

How should I provide feedback or report bugs?

If you encounter an issue while conducting your testing, please open a Support ticket and include a detailed explanation of the problem and steps to recreate the issue (if applicable).

What will happen to my Linodes after the beta ends?

Your Linodes will remain in Toronto 1, data completely intact.

Are beta Linodes free?

During the beta, you will still be billed for the Linodes that reside within our Toronto data center.

We want to thank you for joining us during this exciting period. Enjoy, and please let us know if you have any questions - we’re always here to help!

Happy beta'ing!

No longer beta but live production now - Linode Toronto datacenter is open for business Linode Toronto Data Center Now Available ! Looks they're following DigitalOcean's lead for 1-click apps, object storage, Kubernetes and Indian and Sydney datacenters are on the books too !

We’re excited to announce the opening of our newest data center in Toronto, Canada. Linode Toronto is our 10th global data center and will allow our Canadian customers to deploy cloud workloads on Canadian soil.

Roughly one-third of Canada’s developer community calls Toronto home, making it a natural fit for our newest data center and the tens of thousands of Canadian customers who rely on us. Toronto includes availability of all Linode features and services similar to our other data centers at standard Linode pricing. Additionally, it was built using our latest server builds and is connected to our global backbone.

Linode Toronto also satisfies the in-country data compliance requirements of the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”). For more information, please consult our Compliance, Terms of Service, and Privacy documentation.

Customers with Linodes in other data centers wishing to move to Toronto can clone them to the new facility. The cloning method is recommended since you’ll be able to stage your services on a new IP address before changing your DNS records. Alternatively, you can open a Support ticket and we can configure a migration for you. For new Linodes, simply choose “Toronto” as the location when creating your cloud instance.

And in case you missed it, we recently announced Dedicated CPU plans for CPU-intensive workloads like CI/CD, video encoding, machine learning, game servers, and busy application servers. Keep an eye out for more announcements on our upcoming India and Sydney data centers, Object Storage, Linode Kubernetes, One-Click Apps and more.
