In the U.S., [NEC 210.21(B)(3)] a 15A receptacle can be used on a 120V/20A
branch circuit when the circuit supplies more than one receptacle. For a
single receptacle on a 20A circuit, the receptacle must match the 20A
circuit. I don't believe Canada allows for this variance.
I agree with Jim on the use of 20A circuits for shack wiring. I ran two
dedicated 20A circuits into the shack and it made a world of difference.
I'm using Leviton hospital-grade duplex receptacles.
