    the CEC rule is about the voltage drop inside an installation, not what the power company is going to give you.

    the power company gives you power at the "consumer service" point. the 5% drop in the code is "from the supply side of the consumers service (or equivalent) to the point of utilization." meaning from the entrance side of your panel to the power outlet.

    this simply means you have to size your wires large enough to not have a voltage drop larger than 5%.

    it doesn't say anything about the actual voltage you get at the consumer service connection point.

    the applicable standard for the utility side is ANSI C84.1 or CSA CAN3-C235-83

    here are the values for ontario: normal operating condition 110/220V to 125/250V. extreme conditions 106/212V to 127/254V

    the numbers quoted are the min and max guaranteed at your point of connection to the utility side for 95% of the time.
    they guarantee that 95% of the values will be 106/212 V to 127/254 and 99.9 % of the values will be -15 % to + 10 % or 102/204 V to 132/264 V

    this is for canada according to standard CSA CAN3-C235-83. For the US it's ANSI C84.1
