It all boils down to the fact that Apple does not want to have to pay the Canadian taxes. That is it, plain and simple! I know this from my sister working for Apple (through a temporary service), and it is taught in training classes to state that it is “due to international tax laws”, which it really is. If it is phrased that way, it is not a lie. Apple does not want to pay the taxes for the apps, and the don’t want to alienate their customer base by being honest with them.

Let me give you a little more information: many, many Apple agents are employees of temporary agencies, working in call centers that are full of nothing but temp workers. They are required to take 3-4 chats at a time. When you answer one of the surveys after a chat, email, or phone call, anything less than 4, out of a scale from 1-5, can get the agent fired. If you state that you hate Apple policy and give a “Meets Expectations” or lower on any section of the survey, it is counted against the employee. Apple does not care if you place in the notes that you loved the agent but are unhappy with Apple’s policies. They are so concerned with their JD Powers standing that they don’t give a **** about all the temporary workers they have through Volt and Kelly Services, and other agencies!

I’ve been pursuing this issue for some time. The Canadian Minister of Industry (Hon. Tony Clement) has stated in a letter to my MP and myself that he is unaware of any Canadian laws preventing me from using iTunes store credit for purchasing apps. See his letter here:

If you can’t buy software form apple via pre-paid cards, then how is it that I can buy games from Xbox Canada via pre-paid cards… (same also with my Wii) WTF is Apple lying about then? Why did I buy an Apple with razor blades hidden in it?

Lostgame is having some kind of awesome glitch! I live in canada and started an acount with an iTunes card of 25 bucks. It wouldn't let me buy apps so I contacted the apple store support.

They said you need a credit card to buy apps because we r CANADIANS!!

It's soooooooooooooooo unfair. Especialy when u don't own a credit card.
