Otherwise very few things you cannot get here (usually confined to home country specific delicacies) and even those are often available in CD
If you live in a country with 220V electricity now, don't bother with appliances. Canada operates on 110V. Cheaper to just buy new ones here (rather than battling with transformers). Get warranties and other voltage appliances do not last (even with transformer)
For some specialised personal items, you may have to talk to Canada food inspection agency as well.
Best place to find packing list for Canada would be Student forums. Thousands of Indian students move to Canada every year and most of them use Packing List provided by University seniors. You will find such lists on University Website , International Student forums etc.

If you are an Indian, take a pressure cooker. I am an Indian living in the uk. I took a pressure cooker from india when I moved to the uk. I moved to an apartment that had induction cooking and I had to replace all my dishes. I bought a pressure cooker from the uk and it ended up being a silent cooker. I am used to the whistle and it took me a burnt dish to realise the cooker did not make a noise. That was a bit change for the way I cook.
