(Note: The CF-18 is officially designated the “CF188” in Canadian use, although that identity is rarely employed except in the most official or technical documentation.)
Minor differences in the Canadian version include a sidewards-aimed searchlight beneath the fuselage for nighttime visual identifications, survival equipment optimized for the Canadian environment, various cockpit-layout modifications, and a paint scheme incorporating a “spoof” canopy on the underside of the front fuselage (to hopefully momentarily confuse an opponent in the heat of a dogfight as to “which side is up”).
