Whether or not it causes issues for you in Canada, it might cause issues for future rentals with Avis.
As far as I know this only applies to violations assessed against the vehicle, such as speed cameras and parking violations. A speeding citation assessed against the driver by a police officer pulling them over does not become a liability of the owner.
