I contacted my uk provider O2 when I brought mine over. If you are in contract it was free if not they charged a small fee. That's from the uk Ireland may be different who knows !

What model is it?
Usually the cheapest way to unlock is via eBay.

Why did you ask how to unlock a Nokia when you have a Samsung Tocco?

Regardless, it's not worth it, outside major city centres (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver), Canada uses GSM 850 and your phones support GSM 800 and 900. (If you are lucky Saskatoon is on GSM 1900 and the phone will work in urban areas, but not when you get more rural.)
