Where is your hosting company located?
This can affect site's rating too...

Doesn't it depend on the location of the server and / or the domain name? The content of the webpage itself is irrelevant as far as I am aware.

Google also has various data centres that hold the index information and they might not be synced, how long has your site been up?

the hosting company is in the states, LA

is there anything i can do make our company get listed on the canadian index

I presume getting the site hosted on a Canadian server would be the only way (or getting a Canadian domain name). I'm not sure which attribute Google looks at to determine location, whether it's the host or the domain.

I'm sure searching on Google will shed some light. Sorry couldn't be of more use.

Or perhaps, having a page on a Canadian server with a permanent redirect to the main site might work, as well.

I think it may effect it if you have country-specific .coms. Such as, is your website .ca or .com? .ca being .canada, .com being international.
