I Canada code requires that the circuit be put on a GFCI on an ungrounded circuit if old 2 prong receptacles are replaced with 3 prong.
Also, here. It must also be labeled as “GROUND FAULTED, NOT GROUNDED” and no ground wire is allowed if you add additional 3-prong receptacles downstream (and every downstream receptacle must also be labeled as ground faulted, not grounded).
Comments made here are my own and, according to my children, do not reflect the opinions of any other person... anywhere, anytime.
