I tried calling CS but was on hold for an hour and so gave up.

I couldn't see any way to add baggage at the point of booking and so will I be able to add the baggage to my booking after it has been confirmed or will I have to wait until OLCI opens?

Thanks!
The checked bag fee will be in NOK, the fee in CAD as you mentioned (so 75 CAD) converted to NOK at the market rate when you check in. You should be able to add bags when OLCI opens, but not prior. (I believe the local currency aspect applies for locations where you pay in the local currency on the localized version of Air Canada's website.)
