WooCommerce Canada Post Shipping plugin provides real-time shipping rates from the official Canada Post API. In other words, the plugin sends the details like the package weight, dimensions, source and destination address, etc. to Canada Post and gets the accurate shipping rates, which are displayed on the cart page. When it comes to product variations since there is a dedicated weight allocated to each variation, the plugin will be sending weights based on the variation added to the cart. And hence, the shipping rates will be shown for that variation only.

In case, you want to see which weight and dimensions are being sent to Canada Post by the plugin, you can turn on the Debug Mode, and check the Canada Post Request. You will be able to see the weight and dimensions of the product variation that the customer has added to the cart.
