Small child loves vehicle from Canada (3-3)

I believe the answer is:

ski-doo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vehicle from canada' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'small child loves' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'child' becomes 'kid' (synonyms).
'loves' becomes 'oo' (love means 0 in tennis).
's'+'kid'+'oo'='SKI-DOO'

Can you help me to learn more?
