Keep in mind that the 2006 Georgetown the OP is considering would be identical to the model offered for sale in Canada except for daytime running lights and the speedo on the US model would have predominant MPH instead of KMPH.
If the unit is a Ford then the daytime running lights is a plug and play module and the speedo is ok as long as it shows KMPH, which it will.
But the OP is in Ontario.
The fact that the model is the "identical" is up for debate, and not related to the topic at hand, CERTIFIED to be in compliance is what matters, and no, even 2014 models are not built in compliance with CSA Z240 standards.
