If you have bought a Note 7 and are still hmm'ing and ha'ing about whether you should exchange it... you should just go ahead and do it.
Starting as of the 21st Canadians with the phone will be receiving an over the air update that will provide your device an indicator to let you know your device is 'safe'. A green battery indicator will show. If you had bought your device between the 'scary period' it'll tell you to go and exchange it via their Canadian Product Exchange Program.
So, if you need any other suggestions to go and take it in, Samsung is pushing it to your phone right now.
Sad that the green indicator has to be there, hopefully it's something that might eventually not need to be shown. Ah well.
