CCA is based on the expected useful life of any product.  iPads come and go and become obsolete quickly.  They would not be added as an asset .  CCA is never taken on land itself.  You cannot depreciate land.  You can only depreciate the building on the land.  It isn't mandatory to have company assets or to depreciate them.

Yes, that would be appropriate, or under telephone and communications, if you use it that way.  They are similar in utility and cost as a cellphone, which would not be added as an asset either.
