911 in Canada is newer. It's only been in the Gatineau area for about 10 years. When I lived in Halifax, they just got it towards the late 1990s. Perhaps because it is newer, and it appears to be more standard right across the country, Canada will have an easier time adopting to Voip. I know in the US they have dozens of flavors of 911 service. The US had 911 long before Canada had it, but because of this, the older telephone systems are not working as well as the newer ones. This means that some states may not be as efficient as others when it comes to handling 911 calls. However, Canada being smaller, and having this service recently installed country-wide - we have a better chance of standardizing 911 in Canada, and as a result customizing it to work well with Voip.
There is always going to be the issue of unplugging your adapter and taking it with you to another province, state or country. I am not sure how they will get around that. The onus is on the customer right now to provide the new address information. That is definitely going to be a tricky problem to overcome.
