I note that there are a number of Canadian followers of this forum. There are some differences in feature sets between the US & Canadian Versa's but I haven't seen a comprehensive set. Does anyone have a list?

Some differences that I've noted:

MPG ratings: Canada uses Imperial gallons which are 1.2 US gallons, so MPG or KPL (kilometre per litre) figures will be different.

TPS: Don't think Canadian models have the tire pressure sensors - mine doesn't.

DRL: Canadian vehicles need a daytime running light. Thus they have headlights on a low intensity setting at all times the vehicle is in operation.

Canadian Versa's have heated side mirrors that I sorely miss on my US Versa S.

Yes we do have heated mirrors :D They are a blessing in disguise during the winter months :)

And yes to everything else mentioned: No TPMS, We do have Daytime Running Lights and block heaters.

Also we call our packages here the Tech package (bluetooth) and Sport Package (sport bumpers, sunroof, and fog lights), and then the Base, S, or SL models. I believe in the US they add on a "Convenience package"???

Also, no alarm system is offered on the models from Nissan Canada. You cannot even purchase the alarm from Nissan Canada. I asked and there is no such part here :(
