I didn't look into it. I assume that resale in Canada is not prohibited (on what basis could it possibly be prohibited???). I also assume that I would take a hit on the back end if I tried to re-sell it - but we always drive our cars until the bitter end (or close anyway). By way of example, I have never re-sold any of my used cars which I bought new for more than $4000 (before today, the record was $1000). I am therefore not too concerned.
