Sadly, there is no ScionRacing or TRD backing behind any w2w privateer team in the US.
Outside of the US, there are 3 spec series to follow (although only media coverage are the websites).
BRZ One make series -

In the US, there are all those that have been referenced in this thread.
Jim Jonsin (Rebel Rock Racing) tried to get the first one into CTSCC, but TUDOR (now IMSA) wouldn't allow the car to go FI. Max he got within the allowed rules was 215whp, and just couldn't keep up with the civics.
Tony Rivera put a car on the grid in PWC TC this year, but was also underpowered, and doesn't sound like he's up to fight a losing battle.
Robert Stout's dad has decided to sell the PWC GTS car this year... too many problems and no financial backing from ScionRacing. He asked for $300k from ScionRacing and they basically said they wouldn't give any money. The last 2 years cost them $480k.
So the general concensus is there is no support from Scion Racing. I've tried endlessly and had the director of sponsorships from NASA try to establish some form of support for w2w racing like scionracing canada introduced at the beginning of 2014. They basically ignored everything. Bottom line, you're on your own.
So where can the car race? Actually.... lots of places. What it takes to be competitive there is a difference story.
1. NASA Performance Touring (I'm biased so that's #1.. lol): NASA allows you to build the car to whatever specs you want and fall within a classing system. This system is the same used in the NASA Time Trial program... and the rewards/contigencies are the same. So you can decide to compete in TT until you cage the car with the same mods and hop straight into w2w. There are about 7 cars across the country, and 5 more expected to be completed this year in the Northeast.
2. SCCA T4: Only coilovers allowed at this time, but Marty Grand (multiple SSCA champion) is pushing to have this changed to make the car more competitive.
3. SCCA STL or STU: More mods allowed, but again, classing issues to make the car competitive.
4. PWC TC: I get tired of remembering all the rules, but it's actually a competitive package... just needs a little more power to run at the front
5. IMSA CTSCC ST: About 40hp shy of getting to the power limit with the currently allowed engine mods.
6. PBOC: They'll class they car when you show up at the track... but it's not the most robust system so other cars will be over classed too.
7. EMRA: Very similar to PBOC classing.
8. WRL (world racing league): A BRZ competed this year in one race... I like their classing system by lap time deltas.
Anyways... that's a lot of places to race the car if you want to build one. Factory backed effort in North America? Not this year... and I'm still asking for club level support for next year, but not holding my breath.
*** BUT SINCE YOU'RE IN CANADA ****
You have the best support for club racing an amateur could ask for, just no media coverage.
