Can someone state when PSTN Calling for Canada will be available under Preview/GA?

I am happy to announce that registration is now open on the Skype Preview site for the Canada Calling Plan Preview program. We will begin onboarding customers in the next couple of weeks. Thank you all for your patience!
I have been waiting a long time for this and cobbling together an old key system. I was pleased to see the preview announcement, then disappoint to read it is for systems of 50 users or greater. Any word on when it will GA?
- In case you missed it, it's GA now.
This is the BEST news of 2018!
All of our other offices are in regions that already have this, but we haven't been able to take advantage of it because our tenant was "based in Canada". As our sales org grows in different areas, it's been a pain to spread when our Canadian team members have been on a local phone system and can't transfer calls to the US team... The light is at the end of the tunnel!
Will the preview include toll-free numbers as well for SfB conferencing and autoattendants?
All signed up for the preview! We are your perfect use case!
Nice! Looking forward to General Availability!

Would love to participate in the aforementioned Q2-2018 PSTN-for-Canada 'preview'.
How does one join the beta?

Hi Jesse Short - EA/preview will happen CY18Q1
At this point, it's hard to trust in anything that is said here. We've been strung along for years on this availability and it continues to be kicked up the line every single quarter, if there is any update at all.
It would be helpful to either give us some details as to what's going on or just shut this down and stop making promises that aren't going to be kept.
I had searched high and low for this and was admittedly getting more than a little frustrated... Very much looking forward to this - please keep us updated. Are there any steps we need to take to be sure that we can be included in the Preview? Thanks

Hi! Are you registered on our Skype Preview Portal? Make sure to sign up and keep on eye out for when we launch the program there. Thank you!
Tick Tock, Tick Tock... ;-)
- Sorry - I meant to address this reply to Sara!

The second half of 2017 has come and gone!

They support PSTN calling in Canada and unlike Microsoft who obviously just can’t get their act together on this front. Second half of 2017 became end of 2017, which became Q1, 2018 to now second half of 2018. Very disappointed!
Almost the end of the second half of the year. Any further update about Canada PSTN Plans at all?
