You can check to see the model by checking the VIN number if you are really concerned about it though.

a buddy of mine had a 93 Ex civic which was canadian made and he could shift it at 8000 rpm on his stock ecu, I don't know if it was a rare fluke or what? I used to take mine to 7800 but couldn't get that last 200 out of her

Don't remember any of those shifting at 8000, let alone 7800 on the stock ecu, or stock valvetrain. I have never encountered a civic that wasn't either made in japan or canada. All the 5th gens I have seen have the made in canada sticker. That's where they were made, they dont have any special canadian redlines or engines, as if that would be a good thing if they did.
