The MacRumors thread on unlocking Verizon makes it sound like you may have to connect the phone either to a computer that has iTunes or the internet via WiFi when you switch from Verizon to a foreign SIM card. After that you can switch among foreign SIM cards with no further trouble if you need to. But if you go back to Verizon you'll have to have the non-mobile phone connection to swap to the SIM again.
There is also a question about being able to leave a foreign SIM card in the phone and being able to switch easily back and forth from Verizon CDMA and the foreign SIM (which would be handy for someone traveling from the US abroad regularly).
Verizon does not offer a full unlock, as AT&T and (US) T-Mobile SIM still don't work after the unlocking. It's not clear whether a Canadian SIM would work or not.
