Yep. Here's the list of what the CRTC allows:

As an FYI- if a Canadian station believes it has American competition; they can move to have a channel removed or prevent its approval. A few years ago MenTV and a few others tried to get Spike approved. Thanks to a few hundred letters that were sent to the CRTC, we managed to keep Spike going.
I think now however TSN and ESPN have such an intertwined relationship that ESPN would never apply to come to Canada even if they were allowed to.
