I went to order the ML350 today and the salesman told me there is a Sport Pkg for new ML, not AMG Pkg. However, the sport Pkg in Canada only includes 20'' wheels and sport suspension, and gives no difference in terms of bodykit. So, the car looks so different than the one showing above. What package does the above car have and will Canada offers those package later?

That is the sport package bumper and body kit. Someone here said it is the standard body kit for Canada.

The white ML350 on Canada brochure looks so different. For the above one, I really like the black front, wheels and such, which are not available for Canada now I think. Therefore, I am just wondering if those things will be offered later.

Then if you saw the brochure, you know what will be offered. I just restated what someone said on here

It is not identified, but I would guess it is the AMG Sport Package, like the W164 had. On that model it came out a few months after launch in 2005 and was US$4,200. It included different wheels, grille and front & rear bumpers.

This is from Daimler Europe:

Special Edition 1 model to be introduced for the market launch
As part of the market launch of the new M-Class, Mercedes-Benz will be offering a limited special model called “Edition 1”. Among other things, this vehicle will feature an AMG sports package for the exterior as well as an especially exclusive and impressive interior. Customers can also begin ordering the M-Class Edition 1 on July 11, with prices beginning at €55,700 (€66,283 including 19 percent sales tax) for the ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC Edition 1.

So, if the AMG package is available to Europe by November, it should also be available in North America, unless the marketing people muddy things up. The price in Europe is a whopping €9500 (not including VAT).

Hopefully available that soon in US.

It's odd they don't list it in the US Dealer Order Guide, though, even as future availability.

The car in that photo has the AMG body cladding (different front/rear bumpers). The AMG body cladding is standard for all models of the 166 for Canada; 20" AMG wheels with AIRMATIC are optional as part of the sport package (19" non-AMG wheels are standard).

...and side sills.

My bad - forgot about the chrome inlay on the base sills. Barf.

Chrome strip is present on base models, as well, at least the European model shown in the US Dealer Ordering Guide.
