It's almost always the way that we find out these things, but it seems as though "jonny63" from the Voyageurs has unearthed Canada's next potential friendly match.
Stephen Hart's crew is, of course, still busy with the second round of CONCACAF's World Cup qualification tournmament for the remainder of 2011, but the next available FIFA international match date appears to have been filled by Tunisia.

The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) has a friendly match between its national team and Canada listed on its calendar for Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The match would presumably be played in Tunisia, given that the North African nation is a short hop from Europe (where many of the core Canadians are stationed for their clubs).
If the friendly takes place as suggested, Canada will be taking on a Tunisian side that is undefeated in its past six games (the only loss of 2011 coming back in January--a 2-1 decision at Oman). The Tunisians are scheduled to play Togo in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier next month, followed by a couple of friendlies against Algeria (Nov. 12) and non-FIFA entity Catalonia (Dec. 22).
Tunisia is currently 57th in FIFA's world rankings, fourty-five places above Canada.
