It states on NVC's website exactly where documents should come from. Here's a link to Canada's reciprocity page: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/CA.html#docs

Thanks, Saylin. Yes, they only care about the issuer, not the records themselves.

For any other military Canadians out there, your records must be issued by, "Director, Access to Information and Privacy (DAIP), National Defence Headquarters, Ottawa". And plan ahead -- that agency is experiencing backlogs of 3+ months in response time.
