Canada has only been "Good" for about 2-3 years. I think the FIFA coefficient is based on like 4 years.
The FIFA Rankings used to be based on four years. Now they are like ELO where every game transfers X points from one team to another. That type of rating is not based on a fixed number of years. The flaw in the FIFA Rankings is that X is too low, so games do not cause as much change as they should.
