Not sure, but that seems to be a trend with US companies including Canada in giveaways. I don't get it either. Must be some kind of law regarding importing the prizes?

wikipedia [wikipedia.org]

Because of their potential for abuse, sweepstakes are heavily regulated in many countries. The U.S., Canada, and individual U.S. states all have laws covering sweepstakes, resulting in special rules depending on where the entrant lives. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission exercises some authority over sweepstakes promotion and sweepstakes scams in the United States. Notably, sweepstakes in Canada and several European countries require entrants to solve a (elementary school level) mathematical puzzle or answer a (fairly simple) knowledge question, making it (in theory at least) a contest of skill, in order to overcome requirements that would classify sweepstakes as a form of gambling. There are similar laws in Brazil, where sweepstakes must include a "cultural contest", often giveaway questions like "which brand gives you a house?"

I was curious, so I looked it up! Stick Out Tongue
