You might hear lots of different types of Karate in the world, with colorful uniforms and badges. We can tell you that Karate is originally from Japan. True "Karate" must have linkage to or originate from the starting point of Karate, which is Okinawa.  Shoseikan Canada has that linkage and has the standard of WKF, JKF and JKF Goju-Kai.
