Another possible explanation is that Canada still does field
inspections by the local Hydro or CSA office. It is possible to submit
information, such as test reports, construction data, ect. ask the
local Engineer to review the product and sell product into the
country. This works well especially when the products are low volume
and fall under harmonized standards such as 950, or 1010.

Sounds like a case of acute wishful thinking. Though certainly a future
possibility, alas, at this time the CE mark is only applicable to (some)
European countries.
Canadian regulations require certification to Canadian standards (usually
CSA standards).
