I'm curious if any of these 3 mobile phones have quad-band GSM support. If so, then those would work fine in Canada. Rogers still runs a 2G network so as long as your phone supports 850/1900 MHz for GSM ("2G"), as quad-band phones do, you can use their network (nearly all worldwide carriers have roaming agreements with Rogers).
It's pretty rare for a phone built in the past 5 years or so to not have quad-band GSM, though it's possible some parts of the world still don't have a lot of them.

Then 2G should work very well for you. And if you want a prepaid SIM from Rogers, it shouldn't be too terribly expensive either.
