Here are the latest Internet usage stats from Canada, and you should be
able to drill down to find what you need by visiting the Statistics Canada
Web site (link provided).
Good luck!

Canadian Internet Use Survey, 2012


In 2012, 83% of Canadian households had access to the Internet at home,
compared with 79% in 2010. About 85% of households located in census
metropolitan areas and 80% of households located in census agglomerations
had home Internet access, compared with 75% of households outside these
areas. The rates of household access were highest in British Columbia and
Alberta at 86%, followed by Ontario at 84%. About 69% of connected
households used more than one type of device to go online in 2012. Laptop
and desktop computers remain the preferred types of hardware of Canadians
to access the Internet from home, with 74% and 62% of connected households
relying on those devices respectively in 2012. That said, the proportion of
connected households using wireless handheld devices from home to go online
has increased from 35% in 2010 to 59% in 2012.
