In a clean theoretical world, the share prices should be equal as the shares would represent the same claim on the underlying company's profits.
However, unless there is some mechanism to arbitrage differences away, the differences can be quite large. Things like different investor universes (from the two countries), taxation and other market structure factors can all affect the gap.
As to the amount, it's hard to pin down but an exchange-traded managed fund should trade close to the underlying assets - but without a way to exchange baskets of underlying assets for the fund units, a difference of 10% would be remarkable but not unheard of.
