That's quite common down here in the US. Many Hairdriers come with the integral GFCI. I don't see any problem with it being used on a GFCI receptacle. It would be more like double protection if anything. I haven't noticed any "Nuisance tripping" with them either.
Does your code (CEC) require GFCIs' in specific locations? If so, which ones?

\As far as my research has told me, we generally require gfi's in the same locations as you-bathrooms, countertops within a certain distance of water, outdoor receptacles, etc. The hairdryer gfi is completely new to me, though. I'm wondering if they are intending to make them required on all small ungrounded appliances
