The Google Nexus 6 last week popped up on Google Play Canada with a “coming soon” label but no specific launch details. Both Google Canada and Motorola Canada representatives have now confirmed that pre-orders will begin on November 18.
Still missing is an exact date as to when those pre-orders will ship. It will presumably be the same day that it officially goes on sale or better yet a few days early so that it gets to people on the day it launches.
