I think it may apply to Canadian models too as I seem to not have an OEM bootloader unlock option in developer options.

OK, thanks for the info. So, I think you also cannot unlock the bootloader then(except the paid services)

Yes, but S22 plus is a new device and maybe you need to ask him is it unlockable yet

no more OTA updates after root
you need to download firmware, patch ap file with magisk and flash firmware with home csc file

So on every update we need to do a full flash? Wow
And the userdata is keep?
Is there a way to backup all before update?

yes full flash with home csc to keep your data
if you want to backup your apps and data with root use migrate app from playstore

On the root flash there were 2 "erasing everything" screens, one after a message that something is corrupt. Will this happen again?
Can you provide a simple step by step list what to do with new updated firmware?
