Kudzu has been discovered for the first time in Canada, in Ontario. The Ontario Invasive Plant Council has issued a news release and fact sheet: Kudzu Vine: One of Ontario’s Most Un-Wanted Plant Species (2009; PDF | 764 KB).

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources have set up a toll-free number, the Invading Species Hotline 1-800-563-7711 and www.invadingspecies.com to obtain information and report sightings of kudzu vine and other invasive species.

Canadian Scientists Uncover Alarming Invasion of Round Goby into Great Lakes Tributaries: Impact on Endangered Fishes Likely to Be Serious (Aug 11, 2009)
University of Toronto.
A team of scientists from the University of Toronto, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the University of Guelph has identified a drastic invasion of round goby into many Great Lakes tributaries. A number of the affected areas are known as "species-at-risk" hot spots and the invasion poses many potential threats for native species of fish and mussels. The results of the study are published in Biological Invasions. The public can assist by reporting the capture of round goby to the Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters Invading Species Awareness Program.
