Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Sigma Delta Tau and Zeta Tau Alpha all have closed chapters in Canada and I would guess that they (& their Canadian alumnae) would love to have them back. Also, some of the Canadian schools are not too distant from some of the existing U.S. chapters.

Most Chi Omegas have no idea we ever had a Canadian chapter... Phi at Hellmuth Woman's College in London, Ontario was open just over one year - 1899-1900.

This also means that Chi Omega can't get their Canadian chapter "back" since the school has been closed for more than a century.

The habit of reusing chapter names was/is very confusing and was only done a handful of times. This practice was stopped in the late 1940s.

Well, Western University is based in London, Ontario and they have a thriving Greek community. Chi Omega could make a marriage between the inactive chapter and a potential colony there in the future!
