As far as I remember Cortana is only available through the Developer Preview program for regions like China, India and UK.

Cortana is only available in the UK on Update 1. At this moment in time, Update 1 is only available through the DP program. No idea when we'll see the official release.

Tbh, I think Cortana is as much overrated as Siri and Google Now are. I've tested Cortana for some time and she does some usefull things indeed, but I barely see me using her frequently. The only thing I really consider useful (for me!) is location based reminders and location based WiFi settings. Other than that, it's nothing but a gimmick to me.
That's of course my perspective and personal opinion though.
