I can never figure out how it works, certain States have agreements with certain Provinces, so sometimes they know and sometimes they don't. If it's screwed up in their system I wouldn't worry about it, clearly they haven't got a clue what's going on. Had a similar experience when I got a ticket in Montana. No-one in Montana seems to be able to find a record of the ticket, it's bizarre.
