Unlike Nikon USA, Canon USA has a much more owner-friendly (if not official) policy towards "grey market" Canon gear. If it was purchased new and is still within the warranty's time period Canon USA will usually handle a warranty repair as long as you can document the purchase with a dated store receipt. For used, or for an item whose warranty time period has expired, Canon USA usually handles service charging parts + labor.
