Prior to 2009 yes, the Canadian bumpers had to be strong enough to withstand a 8km/h (5mph) impact without sustaining any damage vs. the 4km/h (2.5mph) standard in the U.S.

2009+ will all be the same since Canada changed the regulation to be more in line with the U.S and international standards.

However, I was able to import my 2006 350z (a few years back) without issue. If the bumper was weaker on the U.S mode, there would have been a ban on importing the car to Canada since it would not comply with the federal regulations.
