Hi Maike: I have not tested this, but if you consult the documentation at:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Web_Integration_Guide it suggests that if you add a query parameter 'jurisdiction' (the doc calls them 'URL variables') to the Creative Commons URL requested in the submit/creative_commons.jsp, you can force the Canadian licenses to appear. If this works, document it for the benefit of others.
