No, you cannot use a Canadian listed cable in the US unless it is listed for use here also. I'm sure our MC with PVC jacket is pretty much the same. Supply houses in Michigan should be able to get it for you, I assume you will have to buy it anyway.

I don't see how Candian listed cable is prohibited to be used in the US? If approved by the AHJ why does it matter where that its listed?

I use a lot of PVC jacketed MC cable, but UL listed. Call Houston wire and cable find out where stock is, then order from your wholesale house.

CSA is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. Why can't we use cable listed by them?

Don, you are permitted to use CSA material if it has the correct mark, the CSA mark with US under it. If it doesn't have the US under the mark, it has not been listed for use in the US.
