A Growing Appetite For Information On Canadian Authorship
Retailers, libraries, media and the Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH) have all expressed an increased interest in being better able to identify Canadian-authored books. The motivation is the same because each group ultimately seeks to serve the same clients -- — Canadian readers -- — whose own keen interest is increasingly clear: In BookNet Canada's latest Canadians Reading Canadians study, 84% of Canadian book buyers said they were "very" or "somewhat" interested in reading Canadian authors, which is up from 75% in 2012.

APPENDIX A: Canadian Contributor FAQ
I'm publishing a book about the Canadian softwood lumber industry written by an American, can I use a CA designation in the Country Code to highlight that the book is about Canada?
The Contributor Country Code applies to the individual and NOT to the content of a book. Identifying Canadian products -- — book content about Canada -- — can be accomplished by using using Thema or BISAC Subject Codes and their respective Geographical Qualifiers or Regional codes, or by general means like titles or keywords. The sole purpose of the Contributor Country Code is to designate the Canadian identity of a contributor.
...
Who among these authors should be identified as a Canadian Contributor?: Malcolm Gladwell, Richard Florida, Kathy Reichs, and/or Conrad Black
Only Malcolm Gladwell, who is a Canadian citizen (even though he was born in England and lives in the United States). The others have ties to Canada but do not meet the Canadian Contributor definition: Richard Florida is -- — for the time being at least -- — only a temporary resident in Canada, Kathy Reichs is an American citizen who resides part-time in Canada, and Conrad Black no longer holds Canadian citizenship.

No. The type of editing referenced in the Canadian Contributor definition is the editorial oversight of a collective work where the book is publicly attributed to that editor and he or she has made a significant contribution to the title's writing (such as an overarching introduction or conclusion). Editing regularly done by a publisher in order to bring a manuscript to publishable form is not considered sufficient to warrant a "CA" designation. If the editor would not normally be listed as a contributor in ONIX, the Country Code should not be influenced by their citizenship.

The Country Code element is the third last line. Note that only one country code is allowed per element, but the element is repeatable if an author is associated with more than one country. Also note that it is possible to designate a Region Code in addition to a Country Code.
