Transport Canada Aeronautical Info.Man. (TC AIM) RAC—RULES OF THE AIR

It is solely up to the pilot in command as to which one to use, if not specifically mandated for that runway/airport.

From Transport Canada AIM: RAC
"NOTE: To assist in planning departure spacing, pilots intending to use NADP 1 at Canadian airports are to notify ATC Clearance Delivery or Ground Control. At airports where NADP 1 is the only procedure to follow, ATC does not need to be notified."
In addition, that warning is posted somewhere on most Canada Air Pilot departure noise abatement procedure plates.

I have never had any questioning about the use of NADP 1, (unless told to Tower for the first time at release for take-off!). There is no pushback if you would prefer to fly one or the other procedure, it is merely to allow ATC to plan the flow of departures.

I feel that sometimes Jeppesen, being an american company, has very little finesse when it comes to non-American procedures.
