I've only looked in Debian testing, but there isn't anything for the
Canadian dictionary.  I use the UK dictionary, and so the programs that
I install are these:

myspell-dictionary-en-gb 
openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-gb
openoffice.org2-thesaurus-en-gb 
openoffice.org-help-en-gb-2.0.1
openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb

Once those are installed I didn't have to do anything else - other than
set the languages in the menu, as myself and others have suggested.
