Actually, there's different in substantial ways. There are special rules
in Canada for re-export of goods of U.S. origin, however. Which mostly have to
do with the U.S.'s being pissed off at Cuba and a few other countries
it's lost wars to), however.
Other freely-distributable crypto is exportable without any hassle. In
fact, even U.S. origin freely distributable crypto is exportable in
many circumstances of interest to free software developers.
(This is due to differing interpretations of the U.S.-Canada treaty
which gives Canada it's exception to the U.S. crypto export laws, and
is a sore point with the U.S.)
