I don't believe that's correct, if I remember CSEC has a pretty broad mandate. Their signal gathering is intended to provide key information concerning the national security of Canda so defense and the government can make the best decisions possible.
Unlike something like the CIA that is not allowed to operate domestically there is no such block for CSEC. They can gather electronic intelligence anywhere that they want.
