I weighed my geo on a pallet scale at work. 4 jack stands near the center. I think the limit on that scale is 4000 lbs.

I used to own a redi-mix concrete company so we used truck scales all the time. They are accurate to + or - 20 lbs. or better. The DOT takes that stuff seriously $$$$$$ Look for certified scales at truck stops.

you ask weight for a stripped widebody? heh.
is it completely stripped? turbo or non turbo?
for non turbo probably around 2250-2400, turbo add a hundred pounds or more.
those are just guesstimates

i don't see how a canadian spec would be much different from a us spec, at least not more than say 50 lbs different.
