Tom, Topps sold US product in Canada back then but often used the hybrid US/Canada wrapper and not the type you show. I can't swear it means every product with a similar hybrid wrapper was sold in Canada but it allowed Topps to do so if they wanted. Even in early 60's Football, where they also made CFL cards, the Topps NFL cards had similar wording on the wrappers. Canadian law varied over the years and specific changes to the wording may have been needed to comply, which might be why yours is OPC only. It's also possible marketing in certain provinces caused Topps to specify a truly Canadian origin on some packs versus others. Hockey packs vary wildly too, especially in the 50's and early 60's.
There's a lot of vintage Topps product in the hobby that came from Canada but there's also a lot of open questions about what was sold where and why it was packaged a certain way.
