AFAIK, Canada doesn't have export restrictions on strong open source crypto so that shouldn't be a problem.
If the US have relaxed its restrictions then I guess patches from the US except for implementations of the actual ciphers (>56bit) are ok. However, I haven't seen this policy change discussed much so I don't know what the realities are.
