Like the other Canadian from Ontario above (Shaf), I too have never used an A1200 or A600.  While the Amiga  500/1000/2000 & 3000 were pretty popular here, by the time the A1200 was released Macs and PCs were overtaking the Amiga here in Canada.  I never saw A1200s in stores.  I'm sure they were available in Canada, but I think you really had to go looking for them (i.e. K-Mart Canada and other mainstream stores had dropped the Amiga by that time).

I've seen a couple of A4000s in Canada, but the A1200s seem to be relatively rare (whereas A500's seemed to be everywhere).

In fact, the few A1200s I've ever actually seen in person here in Canada were at the Amiga Inc. booth in the late 1990s World of Amiga show in Toronto (the one the Peter Tsychenko [sp.] was at when he was running things) and at another small Amiga meetup that used to be held annually in Ottawa.
