All cars in Australia from 1975 to current have a canister, or a similar set-up to collect those vapours for emission purposes.

wen convert to EFI, the tank venting & canister etc. is no different.

Good to know. I was having trouble visualising a late model engine bay and where the canister might be.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the canister at the back, somewhere near the fuel tank? I assume the tank is where most of the vapours come from?

Personally, I like to be able to access my battery easily. Probably mostly cause I'm always pulling the buggers out to charge or swapping them over to another car.
