Canada has been left way behind. Another team that was improving but didn't qualify was Netherlands. With the US changing their Cricketing body in order to be more relevant/competitive, Canada won't have a chance. There's not much funding for it either, most of the players are immigrants who couldn't make the teams of the country they were born in.

I guess the cut down to 10 countries really made it tough for Canada to qualify.
Edit: I see there's 14 countries in it.
