Ignoring it is a mistake as they can petition Canadian court to apply the judgement in Canada.

Yes you can hire a lawyer in the state to do all the work, you shouldn't have to appear in court. But if the case is civil, don't they have to take the case to Canada courts?
Let's say in the case of a Canadian selling someone an as is apple on eBay to a US customer (lets say in California). The US customer finds the apple sour and the Canadian seller will not refund them. They paid by money order so cannot do a chargeback or even worse press a button on PayPal to automatically fuck over the seller. They want to take the Canadian seller to court and do all the filings in California court and send out the notices to the seller in Canada for a court date in the state of California. What happens in this case. Is the seller forced to get a lawyer in California to go to court to fight the case or to make the court case in Canada?
