When the CFL used the J5V spalding, yeah the ball was the same length but a bit thicker. When they switched to Wilson, the NFL and CFL ball are pretty much the same dimension. The stripe creates an illusion of size.
Any difference in size is based on how the leagues inflate the balls. The NFL inflates the ball to the minimum recommended, the CFL to maximum. But the difference is next to nothing.
