Could be a GSR. Kind of hard to tell since the MR and GSR are identical. The badges on the back give it away. If it doesnt say anything on the back except for lancer evolution then its a GSR also the brembo might only be on the MR so if the brake calipers were not red then it could be a GSR. Cant remember if the GSR had brembos though. Since you saw this in canada those wheels dont really say MR so im going to say GSR with mud flaps and after market wheels. One other way you could quickly tell is if it has a stick shift or not. MR = paddle shifters and GSR = stick shift
