Does the entity you pay need to be in Canada (that is, accept payment in 
Canadian dollars), or do the servers need to be there?  Or both?

I use http://www.csoft.net/ for my personal hosting.  Their business 
office is in Canada, but I'm unclear on where their servers are.  Their 
documentation is written assuming you have strong technical skills, but 
they respond quickly (and tersely) whenever I've needed help to address 
gaps in my skills.  They have some specific instructions for 
installation of WordPress once you've connected to them through SSH:

They also have documentation in French in case that's helpful.
