You do not require an export licence to
ship to Canada. You only require an Export Licence if you are shipping
outside of North America to restricted parties, embargoed countries, and end
users. There are agreements between the USA and Canada that entitles free
movement of such materials without the requirements for a license.
Some examples of embargoed countries include Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North
Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Some examples of products that are eligible for
export to any end user (including government end users) in the EU member
countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and
the United Kingdom) and close trading partners (Australia, Canada, Czech
Republic, Hungary, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland and Switzerland).
Exports to government end users outside the EU and close trading partner
countries will require an export license issued by the US Department of
Commerce.
If you are interested, have a look at the following info at:

Part 738Spir - Supplement No. 1 to Part 738, Commerce Country Chart
Part 740Spir - Supplement No. 1 to Part 740, Country Groups
In 738, you will notice that the only item that is controlled is Nuclear,
Biological Weapons and Firearms.
In 740, you will see that Canada is not on a prohibited list.
When shipping materials, even in the US, you should always check this list
first.
