Algerian sources are reporting that Canada has approached the FAF about playing a friendly during the March international break (link in French).
Canada has asked that the game be played March 29 at a European location. The Algerians are playing a African Cup of Nations qualifier just two days before. The report is suggesting that Algeria would rather play the game a day later, on March 30.

The international break runs from March 26-30. It might prove more difficult for Canada to play on the final day of the break as players will need to travel back to their clubs immediately after the game.
Interestingly the reports indicate that Canada will be "on tour" in Europe during the break. That's likely confirming that Canada will be once again holding a European camp.
Algeria is currently ranked 34th in the world, although they have slipped several spots in 2010 after reaching an historic high of 26th a year ago this month. That ranking came after a remarkable two year rise up the rankings from 103rd in January 2008.
Canada and Algeria have never met.
