If you are being radar vectored, the altitudes ATC gives you should already be temperature corrected so no need to apply any more. If you're in doubt just ask them.
In North America, Canada does, the U.S. doesn't.
Are you sure about this? During radar vectors, ATC is responsible for providing you with terrain clearance.
Are you basing this on personal experience? Or is that written somewhere. If you are basing this on experience only, it might not be transparent to you that ATC is doing the correction. I.e. you might be cleared to the same altitude on a hot summer day and a cold winter night, because the minimum radar vectoring altitudes are that much lower that the procedure altitudes, to absorb the corrections.
