Canada has longer process to release update. As you can see pic 1, the updates must meet regulatory approvals *after* they're found to be bug free. They can still be denied release and Samsung or carrier has to work on software again.
This is why wonchul and Steve have said in second picture that dates can change. You'll notice that they only give updates once a month (never fixed "s5" edge+) . They can't ask software people or carrier every now and then as to when the update will be released.
If there is an update out, 100% chance someone will post it, so no need to spam forums that Samsung is slow or carriers are slow or recommend others to *root* their devices (which voids warranty!)
In the end, Samsung is not at fault for updates issue because of having to meet carrier and then regulatory approvals. About 20+ countries received the update August 2nd. Yes, different version of S9 (does version really matter for security patches?), but even when Canada and world had same version (or any other manufacture phone), Canadian updates were very slow to come by.
When Sony, lg and Samsung, among others, release updates slowly to Canadian consumers, the issue is somewhere other than manufacturers. You can only blame Samsung for not having 8.1 out or 9.0 coming next year.

@google, I'm not sure why you say the update for the S8/S8+ is delayed, as I got my update, I'm on Virgin Mobile.
