Actually 15A breakers are standard throughout Canada and the US. Housewiring is only rated for 15A, so 20A breakers are not permitted. Just to complicate matters you have to allow about 20% tolerance on a standard breaker. Some trip early, and some you could weld with, and they won't trip. I always had a dislike for Federal breakers for that reason.
