As said, Nexus phones always come unlocked. However, the telcoms will usually put up some barriers to make it less worthwhile to get a phone from them and not use their service. I tried to get a Moto G from Koodo and Telus to unlock and use on Rogers but they outright refused to sell to me unless I activate with them or prove I have an account. the restrictions would be even tougher with a Nexus since that hurdle of a locked phone doesn't apply.
