I live it Seattle, and we see a good bit of cars from BC down here.  They look to have the same, or nearly the same size plates.

Edit:  I'm a moron.  I don't know about MC plates.

You're just in luck my friend.  I just fabricated a plate to go behind the US license plates, so I know the exact size.

7" wide
4" tall

If needed:
Each hole is 1/4" in diameter
The location of the holes is 3/8" from the two sides.  So if you measure the top left hole, it is 3/8" away from the left side, and 3/8" away from the top side.

Hope this helps.

I was flipping through a MC catalog today. I saw an accessory that holds the license plate.  Worked for US & Canadian plates.

Hopefully someone here comes up with some dimensions.

Except in Maryland - they're a different size from what I've seen (holding it against my VA plate)

Bahamian plates match VA (and rest of US) thought.

Moved from MN to SK a year ago.

Plates are the same size, but the holes were spaced differently. I had to drill new holes in the fender to mount the plate.
