Given that our code allows a 1/4 inch opening, that looks like it is marginally over 1/4 inch.Canadian Electrical Code said:(1) Where conductors pass through the walls of boxes, cabinets, or fittings, provision shall be made to....

will not permit entrance of a test rod 6.75 mm in diameter (1/4 inch dia).
Receptacles
(10) After installation,....
(b) any openings around the receptacle or cover shall be such that a rod 6.75 mm in diameter (1/4 inch dia) will not
enter; and
