No, you don't need a 406 ELT, a 121.5 ELT is still fine.
As to the question of small numbers, I don't know, but I copied this from the COPA/AOPA handbook on Canada/US Cross border operations. A quick glance didn't mention number size.
Aircraft and Pilot Documentation
Visiting pilots are required to have the following documents in their possession. All documents must be current and original; photocopies are not acceptable.
Aircraft Documentation
-Aircraft registration certificate (temporary ¡§pink slip¡¨ registration forms are not valid for international flights as described in US Title 19 Customs Duties, Chapter 1, Part 122, Subpart C Section 122.27)
-Aircraft airworthiness certificate (for aircraft with a C of A or Special C of A);
-Aircraft operating limitations (including the ¡§Standardized Validation of a Special Airworthiness Certificate ¡V Experimental, for the Purpose of Operating a United States-Registered Amateur-Built Aircraft in Canadian Airspace¡¨);
-Weight and balance information;
-FAA 337 form when the aircraft has been fitted with extra fuel tanks in the baggage or passenger compartments.

I have heard otherwise about needing a 406 ELT. Please explain your source.
There is no ADIZ between the lower 48 states and Canada. The contiguous ADIZ follows the east coast, passes between Mexico and the USA, and goes up the west coast.

As of a week ago:

for the story.
As well, they co-produced, with AOPA, a document on cross border flying that you can access as well, just hit the "Flying in Canada" button.
You can put temporary stick on numbers on the airplane.
