The reason I asked was because I saw some parallels to the situation in France- I was able to sign up without local ID, I was able to authorize my credit card from home for automatic payment (that was actually the condition the dealer required to accept my request for a postpaid plan because of my non-residency), and I was able to cancel with a minimum of trouble.

This is what happened to me, and of course I want to make sure it's open to all before adding it to the wiki like on the France page. So here in the comments I'll lay out the steps I took to see if anyone else can replicate it.

This happened last year, so after the switchover to Rogers' new credit card processing system:

I went to a Wireless Wave store (third-party dealer), presented my American passport, said I wanted an iPad plan just for a month. The dealer actually steered me away from prepaid right from the start, and said that they wanted to try making me a postpaid line first.

I was presented with a choice of carriers. I went with Rogers.

I had the plan tiers explained to me.

The dealer said that because I was non-resident that I would have to authorize a credit card for auto-pay before they would sign me on. They used their own system to authorize my US-issued Visa card for auto-pay, and apparently Rogers accepted this.

I also signed up for paperless billing to avoid a paper bill being sent to the address I had used.

I used my service without incident.

When it came time to cancel, I called Rogers to cancel, and my service was cancelled that day.
