Believe it or not the Canadian G.E sets were more then likely made by G.E with imported tooling, Canadian Westinghouse did the same. Canadian Westinghouse had a version of a Columnaire called a model 801, the circuit is very similar to the Victor and C.G.E sets like the S-22, but the chassis layout is different in that it has sockets for the three directly heated tubes on the side apron, the chassis is mounted sideways with the two #45s and the #80 pointing straight up. I believe that the Canadian Westinghouse 801 Columnaire is a 1931-32 model, they had a more conventional version as well, mounted in a tombstone cabinet, I have the service folder for that, I kind of wish that C.G.E and Victor sets were built the same way rather then that deep, layered chassis copied from the U.S sets.
