I don't think there is such a dictionary online. Accents vary from place to place in both Canada and the U.S. Use the pronunciations in any standard dictionary.
ok thank you ms. sue :) can I know if there is a pronounciation canadian voice thing online? like you type in a word and they say it in that canadian accent.
I didn't find any site like that. I suggest you ask a friend whose native language is English to pronounce some words for you.
ok thank you ms. sue :)
The only one I can suggest is the Oxford English Dictionary -- www.oed.com
You may have to create an account, and I don't know if it's free or not, but it's worth checking out.

Other places to check on are the library websites of various Canadian universities. Here's one:
