Warranty for New Nikon Lenses

What is the standard warranty in Canada for a new Nikon lense these days. Looking to ship my 80-400 ED VR in for service purchased from an authorized dealer on 09/04/2015. Thanks.

*Repair Update: Nikon is covering it under warranty, no charge. Work order has it listed as a B2, no idea what that means. Nice Christmas gift for sure not having to pay.

5 Years why not take it to where you bought it have them ship it for you??

Be sure to check out the Canadian website for Nikon to see what they say about warranties. Here in the USA, we get a limited 1 year warranty with an extended 4-year warranty. They suggest registering lenses online. This is Nikon USA's warranty info. Not sure if yours will differ.

Nikkor Lenses
Nikkor lenses come with a standard one year USA limited warranty + a 4 yr. USA Extended Service Coverage for a total of 5 yrs of protection.
* To register your lens for the 4yr extended service coverage, please visit Register your Nikon Product. Keep the Customer copy of the form as well as the original proof of purchase (sales receipt).

I would have but they closed that store and the only one within driving distance is 4 hours total return trip in good traffic. Thanks for the info.

I checked the canadian website as you suggested and it has this: "All NIKKOR and 1 NIKKOR lenses purchased new from an authorized Nikon Canada Inc. reseller include a five-year limited warranty from the date of purchase." I was asking as the slip with my lense states this: "Your Nikon equipment is guaranteed against any manufacturing defects for one full year from the date of purchase".

I just looked up the info on the Canadian Nikon website. It lists 5 years then breaks it down to 1-year with a 4-year extended warranty something like what we have here in the USA. Why they word it that way is something I don't understand. I haven't purchased a new Nikon lens in a while, but I do remember the paper warranty stating it was for 5-years.

The following comes from Nikon Canada. The large bold print is my emphasis. https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/ni/NI_article?articleNo=000001237&configured=1&lang=en_CA
