How do Canadain rv standards differ from U.S.
be prepared to bring anything that does not meet Canadian code in to standards. Above quote from a thread that somebody might be bringing a RV from US and licensing it in Canada. Never knew...

Contrary to the above comment, the standard differences are not BS, there are variations because the Canadian standards are more rigorous. Most of the difference relate to high voltage applications where the high voltage standard is 575V in Canada for industry, in the US it's 220/440V.
Having said that, with NAFTA most electrical components are now certified to CSA/ULC standards as it's a hassle to make and market stuff separately. Can't speak to importing and the requirements but I would check if you plan to import an older unit. I had an older Prowler RV, it had substantially different electrical schematics for CSA and non-CSA units. The Canadian version had about twice the number of circuit breakers in the panel compared to US units.
