Although the two CIP versions are practically identical, there are a few differences as noted on the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) website and as quoted in italics below:

8. Are there any differences between the Canadian and U.S. versions of the CIP?
For the most part, these two versions are identical, and NCES and Statistics Canada worked together to ensure that the CIP meets the needs of both countries. However, in a few specific instances, the educational systems of each country are different enough to necessitate differences in each country's version of the CIP. Specifically:
There are several programs of instruction in Canada that focus on the growing, production and use of medicinal cannabis, which currently is not available in the United States as well as a few programs for which there are no equivalents in the United States. All of these codes, plus a few others for which there is not an equivalent program in the United States have "Reserved" in the title and the following text in their definition
"Reserved for use by Statistics Canada. This CIP code is not valid for IPEDS reporting".These codes are distributed throughout different 2 digit CIP Series.In Series 43.03, the U.S. version uses the term "Homeland Security" while the Canadian version uses "Public Safety."
The Canadian version includes French as a Second Language (16.1702) and a 2 digit series for French language and literature/letters (Series 55).
The Canadian version uses aboriginal or indigenous instead of American Indian/Native American (e.g., Series 16.10).
Additional examples have been added to the vocational and technical series in the Canadian version that correspond to the Red Seal Trades in Canada.
The Canadian version includes a French translation.
