However, it is claimed that for visa and amex, a workaround is to enter the three digits from your Canadian postal code followed by 00.

Of course, it might also depend on which bank your Canadian card is issued by (do the banks in Canada all usually offer both mastercard and visa from the same bank...I never understood that as I thought they were competitors).
It works with my Canadian Masterard.
