Has anyone set this up before? Does it even work in Canada?

AFAIK, it's still not available outside US yet. You can only get a US number. I set an account up a while ago with a US number linked to my 403 number. I maybe able to redirect my regular voice mails to google voice, but I haven't tried it because I'll probably get long distance charges. If I remember correctly, when someone calls my google number and I don't answer, it goes to google voice mail.
If you want to set up an account, try this

I've had mine for over a year now and it's come in handy quite a few times. I use it for all my Kijiji / Craigslist dealings so as not to be bothered once the transactions are completed.
I'm not sure if it's still an option but you used to be able to use your Calgary area code numbers to link and activate the Google Voice numbers. I used mine to get my New York city number and my gf used hers to get her Compton, Los Angeles number.
The big thing I'm wondering about now is if I change my current number to a non 403 number, will I lose my Google Voice number even though it's linked through my GMail...
