Off the top of my head I know that Lynsay Sands (historical and pnr romance) and Drew Zachary ( m/m romantica) are Canadian authors.
here's one GR list:

and this link gets you to several GR lists:

Normal caution when using GR lists - anyone can add a book to a list, no questions asked, so it may not actually fit the task.
Two of my favorite Canadian authors are Margaret Atwood and Charles de Lint

I have enjoyed Frances Itani, Carol Shields, Will Ferguson and Cathy Marie Buchanan.
