Yes, the serial number confirms Canadian manufacture. It was manufactured in 1983 by Velosport, which was then the manufacturing division of Procycle, a St. Georges, Quebec based company that had the Peugeot manufacturing license for Canada. The serial number is high enough that it could be a 1984 model manufactured in late 1983, as most manufacturers started buling the new models around September.

It's definitely not completely original. They wouldn'r have mixed Simplex levers with Huret derailleurs. MAFAC brake calipers and Weinmann brake levers would also be an odd mix. I supect that the previous owner replaced the handlebar/stem assembly, complete with the existing brake levers and stem shifters.
