Canada shares a plate format with the US — the same 12×6 inch rectangle, same mounting pattern — and then goes its own way on everything else: province-by-province rules, French requirements, and winters that stress-test every piece of hardware bolted to a bumper. Since Canadian orders make up a healthy share of our frame sales, here's the Canada-specific picture.
Province rules, briefly
Front plates: Ontario, BC, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and most of the country run two plates; Quebec, Alberta (passenger vehicles), Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Newfoundland run rear-only — Canada's version of the American split. Visibility: every province requires the plate's characters and stickers unobstructed, same principle as the US rules (that guide applies); Ontario specifically flags frames that cover “Ontario” or “Yours to Discover.” Thin-bordered frames clear everywhere.
The winter factor
Canadian plate hardware lives a harder life than almost anywhere — salt brine from October to April is a corrosion accelerator that turns cheap frames into case studies. Painted steel frames rust visibly in a single Ontario winter; ABS plastic goes brittle at minus twenty and snaps at the car wash. This is exactly the environment cast zinc alloy with a sealed finish was chosen for: our frames shrug off brine, and the cast-in pattern can't peel because it isn't a coating (the materials table). Pair with stainless screws (hardware guide) and the assembly outlives the winters.
Fit and shipping, plainly
Every standard Canadian passenger plate fits our frames — sold as front-and-back pairs, which two-plate provinces need and rear-only provinces can split with the garage wall. They ship to Canada alongside everything else in the catalog; the frames are simply the one product we only ship to North America, for the geometry reasons in the format explainer. Sizes, rules, salt: covered. Eh.
