Since it's a GSM (unlocked) phone, it will work quite well anywhere in the world.* It will even do so without an astronomical "roaming" long-distance bill. Something that a CDMA (Telus/Bell) phone is incapable of doing.
I've also had excellent customer service from Fido. They even helped me program all my internet settings into my phone, even after I told them that I didn't even buy it from Fido (I bought it from UK Motorola). Try phoning Telus up and telling them you bought a phone from somewhere else and want them to help you get it onto their network.
