California is part of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) which requires other member states of this agreement report to the CA Department of Motor Vehicles moving violation convictions. While Canada is not part of the DLC, California may have similar reciprocal agreement with parts of Canada as well.

Provision 13363 of the California Vehicle Code states that the DMV can suspend or revoke the license upon notice of the conviction of a person in a state, territory, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or the Dominion of Canada of an offense which if had been committed in state, would have been grounds for suspension or revocation of the privilege to operate a motor vehicle.

This part of the vehicle code appears to show that convictions in Canada are reported to the CA DMV. To find out if the speeding ticket you received in Canada will be placed on your California driving record and be assigned points, check with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. If points are assessed, the CA violation points list has 1 point listed for out of state speeding violations.

If the Canadian speeding ticket is put onto your driving record, than you insurance company will see it next time they pull your MVR. It should not show up on your friend's record or affect her insurance since the ticket was written to you and not the car.
