This is a question of where you have to bring the collection actions. Ordinarily, an action needs to be brought in the jurisdiction where the defendant resides. That would be Canada. To do so, you’d need to use an attorney licensed to practice in that jurisdiction and you’d have to be complying with Canadian law.
That said, if you’re going to conduct international business, you should be working with an attorney versed in international trade. I suspect you have recourse, but it may not be in a Wisconsin court.
