Yes a US collection agency can collect in Canada. They are allowed to collect wherever the person lives who incurred the debt.
Cheap invitations need to be ordered in bulk to make the prices really low enough to be noticable. If you're ordering 200 or more invitations, you will end up saving a lot of money that way.
Not all companies collect outside of the US, but when they do collect, collectors dont have any issue calling international

No. Actually, they don't have much power in the US, either. Far less than they pretend. Not true. I am president of a commercial collection agency in the USA and represent many US and Canadian companies where the debtor is a Canadian Co. While its true that a collection agency has no real teeth in enforcement, the threat of legal action often motivates people into the check book or face a hand off to a partner law firm. I recently had an Italian client who was owed money by a Canadian company and they refused to pay until I referred the matter to a local barrister and suit was filed. Canadian laws have stronger enforcement provisions then the USA laws. The Canadian company is now paying the balance on installments. The power in any collection agency is their willingness to litigate if the debtor refuses to cooperate. If the debtor wants to play poker, then the agency needs to be able to call their bluff. And yes I sue on $3000 accounts where I think the debtor has the ability, if not the willingness to pay.

a collection agency can collect where ever they need to. they purchased the debt from the timeshare company (to use your example). what i don't know is if they can impact your credit if for instance you were in the US and the collection agency or timeshare company is out of the country.
It is possible.
Yes, there is. There is also US federal protection against unfair credit collection practices, including the requirement that the collection agency provide proof that the claim is valid if you ask them to.

They can collect whatever you let them collect. Its called intimidation and if they are successful and you pay, then it doesn't matter does it....
no
Such collection is part of the unit's authorized mission.
If you mean the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, then no. That is an agency of the US Government, and has no jurisdiction in Canada.The Public Health Agency of Canada, and its parent ministry (Health Canada) are responsible for maintaining the health of the people of Canada.
