I don't know about "in Canada" (because they do play other kinds of football there), but in Canadian football, I thought you already knew this. I'm probably mixing you up with another poster, so I'll answer.

Once the ball is otherwise readied, or practically readied, for play, the wings look to the bench on their side to see if they want to substitute. If they don't see movement to do so, or once they no longer see such movement, they turn infield and put their arms out sideways. At that point no further substitution is allowed, and the time count begins to put the ball in play. Teams are not required to wait until the ball is otherwise ready for play to begin substituting.

The right person can correct me if I've got some of this wrong.
