+1 I've never done "real" Canvec imports, but just add Canvec data (usually street names) from the JOSM Geobase layer. It's pretty straightforward if you already are a JOSM user.
Slight thread drift: I think I may have asked this question in the past but I can't remember the answer or find the old thread. The Geobase street names in Quebec often contain extra blank spaces, often (but not always) separating the Rue/Ave/Boul from the name from the N/E/S/O (e.g. Rue Boisbriand or Boulevard Saint-Denis Ouest). This in not correct and should ideally be fixed, right?
