FM/CSA I think is two different association which may approve a product. FM =Factory Mutual see:
This is like as UL Approval for a certain product. So, "UL approved" it is the same as "FM approved".
Usually a cable could be produce following CSA and UL Standards so it will be equivalent.
See [for instance]:
If you intend to purchase this cable certified by CSA you may ask the manufacturer [Canadian] if a FM label could be tacked on the product. See[for instance]:
