Those are nice guns. But note that they have the LE trademarks on them and not the CF version. If you're ok with that, then go for it.
Your best bet for authenticity (if you want the CF version) is to build it yourself. There's little in terms of the defining features of the Canadian guns that set them apart in look from the American M-series in these pre-built guns. The receivers with the authentic markings are hard to locate, but pop up in the classified occasionally. You just have to be quick and snatch them up as they tend to disappear quickly.
I have one of each. Both have the receivers, and are "mostly" authentic. A few externals details are off, but nothing major. My C7A2 is as close as it gets. It's basically the same as an M16 only with a proper C7A2 marked Guarder receiver, and TRIAD mount. I have a G&P crane stock on it, which is the variation on the real steel, and my furniture is black rather than green. I also use an ELCAN replica. Other than the colour and stock, it's as authentic as it gets.
My C8A3 is a full custom build. I got a DBoys C8 receiver (not C8A3 unfortunately)as the base. Everything else is custom built. It also sports a G&P crane stock, and has green furniture, TRIAD and real steel slim handguards. The only thing it needs for completion to 100% authenticity is the heavy barrel. I never got around to getting one. I'll switch between an ELCAN and a real steel EOTech 552 on this gun.
