I placed an order on Nov 22nd with debit and it worked fine. I placed another one on Nov 26th with creditcard and that one went through no problems as well. What issues are you facing? Have you tried calling them? I'm from London, ON in case that helps.

Sorry. What I meant is I can't use the Google wallet app to make purchases through NFC.

Oh! That's what you meant. Man, I was looking forward to trying that out when my phone got here. But I think I read somewhere on xda that it should work here for some merchants... Have you personally tried it?

I had to sideload the Wallet app as it seems like Canadian Nexus 5s do not have the Wallet app installed. I received a message once logging in saying that Google Wallet is not supported in my country.

wallet is offered on their .ca website and if you scroll down it even has the tap and pay advertised http://www.google.ca/wallet/shop-in-stores/
but the FAQ says its only available in the states at the moment... pity :( http://www.google.ca/wallet/faq.html#tab=faq-general

There's nothing you can do right now. Wallet actually is installed, it's just frozen (take a look at Titanium Backup). Even if you defrost it you get the error that it doesn't work in your region. I even tried revoking location permissions for Wallet. You can apparently enter a fake US address and get further and try adding cards but your payment will always be declined when you actually go pay. Just going to have to wait for Google or someone else to step up in Canada.
