As does the States.
What I meant was that inside of Canada, there are situations where the police don't need a search warrant for your phone. You can unlock it with your fingerprint, so it's legally "open" and searchable.
If you have a passphrase, then they need to know your mind in order to unlock it, and they can't force you to disclose something you know.

Citizens are immune, for the most part. Curiously, citizens aren't immune in Canada. I have dual citizenship and they still sometimes want to flip through my phone. No, I'm not sure why. They have had me power on and unlock my laptop a couple of times, as well.
