The PROLED MacBook Pro starts at $3,999 in Canada, with education pricing from $3,789
Apple’s Canadian release lists these starting prices in Canadian dollars:
- 14-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Pro: $3,999, or $3,789 with education pricing
- 16-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Pro: $4,799, or $4,519 with education pricing

Canadians can pre-order on October 28 and buy in stores on November 6
Pre-orders open on October 28, 2026, at apple.com/ca/store and in the Apple Store app. Availability starts Friday, November 6, 2026, at Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Resellers. Canada’s release also reminds you that AppleCare+ there covers accidents such as drops and spills on eligible products, battery replacement and support from Apple Experts.
Power adapters and the travel kit cost different amounts in each country
The MacBook Pro uses USB-C power adapters that Apple also sells on their own. Here’s what each costs locally:
- 70W Power Adapter: A$89 in Australia, $79 in Canada
- 96W Power Adapter: A$119 in Australia, $95 in Canada
- 140W Power Adapter: A$149 in Australia, $129 in Canada

Apple Creator Studio costs A$19.99 or $17.99 a month for new subscribers
Apple is bundling its Creator Studio subscription offer with the launch. New subscribers in Australia pay A$19.99 a month or A$199 a year. In Canada it’s $17.99 a month or $179 a year. Every new subscriber gets a one-month free trial, and if you buy a new Mac or a qualifying iPad you get three months free. That offer is limited to one per Apple Account or family group and renews automatically until you cancel.
Education pricing is A$4.99 a month or A$49 a year in Australia, for university students and educators who pass verification. In Canada the education plan is $3.99 a month. Apple’s Canadian release gives two different yearly figures, $39 in the pricing section and $39.99 in the footnote, so check the store before you sign up.
Siri AI on the new MacBook Pro is a beta with language and age limits in both countries
Both releases carry the same footnote. Siri AI is a beta in macOS 27.2 and works in English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, so French-speaking Canadians are covered. It isn’t available to users under 13, and some server-side features have daily usage limits, with Apple planning a fee for expanded access later.
Buy now if you need it for work, and use education pricing if you qualify
If you’re a student or educator, the education discount is real money: A$240 off the 14-inch M5 Pro in Australia and $210 off in Canada. If you want the touchscreen and PROLED display for work right now, both countries get it on launch day with no delay.
