Maybe they are quasi-testing still.
You could be right but I also don't see Canada on the currently supported country list. With BMW Canada selling more cars last year than they ever have there, why Canada isn't already supported is a surprise.

They list a set of countries as working on the BMW Labs page for IFTTT, and even list Finland, Denmark, and Sweden as "New!" support.

It does also list these requirements:
Vehicle requirements:

BMW vehicles built between 07-2013 and 10-2015 (excl. 2015 7series)
Vehicle equipped with active ConnectedDrive Services (SA6AK)
BMW ConnectedDrive Account with mapped vehicle, register/login ConnectedDrive page
Vehicle equipped with Navigation Professional (SA609: NBT and NBT Evo)
BMW Labs Widget active in splitscreen of car’s control display

It looks like you must first have ConnectedDrive Service SA6AK, plus Nav Professional SA609 options, and you must also have registered/activated your VIN with an online BMW ConnectDrive account.
