Yes, I know WS has 737 simulators, but they are not max simulators, therefor do not have the flight characteristic of the Max. It is my understanding talking to a couple of 737 pilots, if simulator training is required byTransport Canada, they will require the training to be on a 737 Max simulator only. This is Boeing is pushing for non simulator training.
