It's a point system based on who you beat and how many goals your scored and got scored against.

Also certain matches are worth more. For example tournaments are worth more than Friendlies. World Cup has the most value followed by Euro Cup and world cup qualifying
I think that perhaps you would feel differently if Canada was in the top ten in that list. The list doesn't really mean much, you're right, but it does give you a pretty good idea as to who the best teams are at any given point. You will notice too that six out of the top ten on that list are teams that have won the world cup before, sharing 16 out of 18 titles between them.
