.ca's to non Canadians

We received a request to register a .ca name for a fellow that is located
in California, not much of a surprise its bound to happen. However during
our due diligence we asked the registrant to confirm which of the Canadian
presence requirements they met, it was at that point the customer canceled
their order.

The customers order was filled out like any normal order, except for the
fact it was all USA type info (zip codes, city etc) however the magical
country of "Canada" was picked.

Now, because I had a funny feeling I watched this name for a few days (some
would say its because I had a bunch of time on my hands this last week...)
today the name shows up as registered to the exact same .com that requested
it from us, this time with Toronto Ontario as the address, and a California
area code...

Is there a formal complaint procedure for dealing with this?
Or am I free to sell .CA to people in California who are willing to be
untruthful on their applications.
