Oh yeah, 33.3mHz.

Oooops, decimal point in the wrong place, should be 3.33 MHz

I'm concerned about latency issues
and use them only as a backup.

Huh? NO "latency" (not quite sure what you mean by that). Just the RF
propagation delay (at the speed of light) from their transmitter to your
location. No reason to use them as a "backup", they are every bit the
equal to WWV.

I don't know if they are
just a repeater for the American time sources.

Again, NO. They are their own man, so to speak. They use their own
atomic clock, radio transmitters, etc. A complete, stand-alone Canadian
equivalent of WWV and just as accurate as WWV. They are NOT WWV repeaters.

for a complete description of Canada's time service.
