They, no doubt, are accredited as Testing and Certifying Organizations by the Standards Council of Canada.

In the hopes of clarifying the statement, consider the following; C-UL is the proper acronym for products tested and certified by UL (in the US, or Canada, or elsewhere - I expect) to Canadian Standards. UL (the US company) is also accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as Testing and Certification Organizations and their C-UL (and C-UR for components) marks are accepted in Canada.
