To my knowledge, there's no protectionist measures here that helped Kobo. Their dominance in the Canadian market happened mainly because Kindle hadn't gone international, as you said. But there was nothing stopping Amazon from selling here except perhaps for the fact they hadn't lined up their WhisperSync partners yet.
And when Amazon did start selling the Kindle here, Kobo was helped out by the fact that Canada is a secondary market for Amazon.
