Availability and Quota for Gemini 2.5 in northamerica-northeast1 (Canada)

Google Cloud Build with AI Generative AI & Foundational Models
1

I am looking to use Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro APIs on Vertex AI with a strict requirement that data is stored and processed within Canada.

  1. Is the Pay-as-you-go (PayGo) pricing model fully supported for these models in the northamerica-northeast1 (Montreal) region?

  2. Does this region support local ML processing to ensure data stays within the Canadian boundary during inference?

Issue: I am unable to see the Gemini/Vertex AI quotas in IAM > Quotas & System

it is UI issue.

you have to select the filter to include

base_mode:gemini-2.5-pro-ga or model:gemini-2.5-pro

hope this helps.

Just fyi, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash will be retired on June 17, 2026.

I am also trying to figure out if there will be a gemini 3.0 Pro/Flash exist in Canada (Montréal (northamerica-northeast1)) or any 3.0 preview model endpoint in Canada we can try.

I read on the other post that all Preview model (eg, Gemini 3.0-preview) only exist in Global region until they are GA.
