You can find many useful options here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
Or here: [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why? .

But, I don't think that's what you're looking for:
I ask because I was trying out Coinbase and found out it doesn't work to Sell and transfer the money out to any Canadian institutions.
It's important to distinguish between wallets and companies. In my definition, a wallet gives you full control over your own private key, and can't be limited to any countries. All the rest, from Coinbase to Poloniex, are companies where you can trade coins, but they are in control of your money.

So, for a wallet: read the two links above.
Unfortunately I don't live in Canada, so I can't speak from my own experience other than Google: Try https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/canada/ . The first one they recommend though is Coinbase:

Residents of Canada can use Coinbase to purchase bitcoins with a credit card. The fees are 3.99% per purchase, and your bitcoins are delivered instantly.
If you use Coinbase to buy Bitcoins, send them to your own wallet so you control them, and procede from there.
