The comments that danapop quoted are not correct, as you suggest. Industry Canada is the regulatory authority with respect to frequency spectrum use in Canada and hasn't anything to do with NavCanada, the air traffic service provider. The air-ground frequency spectrum in Canada was subject to a public auction in 2009 and the successful company was SkySurf Canada.
SkySurf wins licence, wants inflight Internet to take off in Canadian skies - 15 June 2009
In 2010, they issued a press release indicating that they had partnered with Aircell to provide inflight WiFi in Canada by the end of 2011:
SKYSURF AND AIRCELL TO COLLABORATE IN LAUNCHING FIRST-EVER INFLIGHT INTERNET SERVICES IN CANADA - 4 November 2010
Obviously, this has yet to happen and then in August of 2012, there was another "new" announcement saying basically the same thing - that GoGo (formerly Aircell) had partnered with SkySurf and will begin offering inflight WiFi in Canada by the end of 2013:
Canada clears Wi-Fi in the skies with Gogo plan approval - 28 August 2012
Then, in March of this year, it was announced that GoGo Biz will be available to business aircraft over Canada in the first quarter of 2014:
Aircell Announces Expected Coverage Areas for Gogo Biz In-Flight Internet in Canada - 26 March 2013
All that to say that inflight WiFi is coming to Canada ... someday ... probably ...
