First off, either CSA or UL is acceptable in Canada.  However, since 
these devices are not AC line powered, neither approval is necessary as 
they're are safety related organizations and there's no risk as their 
might be with AC powered equipment.  What would require their 
certification is the wall wart that plugs into the AC outlet.  The FCC 
is a U.S. government body that regulates radio spectrum usage and more, 
but being an American body, it's irrelevant in Canada.
