Domain can be ca, com,net,org or other TLDs.
The contents, backlinks and getting local traffic is the most important thing to do.

It's not about just domain
I think totally backlinks, you need canadian backlinks

go with the .ca or .com ( .com does also extremely well in Canada )

If it's a long term and bigger project, I would suggest that you buy both, I personally always do.

but you should also consider hosting the site on a Canadian server.

and of course, you will need links from Canada ( not all but some)
