All of Canada had 25 cycle power, as opposed to 60 cycle, until the mid-60s or so IIRC. I had a CTC-5 with an outboard transformer setup that was made to handle 25 cycle power....it was bought in the US and transported over.

You can use 25 cycle stuff on 60 cycle current, but not the other way around.
