The replacement filters still work on the old PUR Hiker. I know because that's what I've used exclusively for the last ten years and have never had any reason to change. Right now I have a new replacement filter in my old Hiker, so I know it works. Unless you're in a third world country where there's a chance of viruses in the water, you don't need a purifier. Here in the Sierras we just use filters so I would imagine that Canada would be just as clean.
