before I go and dig around under the hood does anyone know if my 2014 Tribeca 3.6 would have been built with a block heater. There are some reports that say all Subarus built for Canadian market were built with a block heater .

No and No. 

All subaru's can have a block heater installed in them.  Some cold climate locations may install them as a standard protocol, but that will be regional/local/dealer specific, not "North America" or "Canadian". 

If you want a block heater for your Tribeca you just install one. If you don't know if yours has one, someone needs to look.

Agreed, it would not have come from the factory with it.

Some dealerships might install them (if you buy a machine from the equipment dealer where I now work, we put a block heater in it, even if you didn't ask for it) by default, so it's possible you have one.
