The primary language in Canada is English and French (regional).
English is spoken virtually everywhere. English is widely spoken nationwide (French is dominant in Quebec) — no significant language barrier to plan for.
Learning "hello," "please," "thank you," "excuse me," and "the check please" in the local language goes a long way anywhere, including Canada — locals consistently appreciate the effort.
It's rarely necessary given how widely English is understood in Canada, but it doesn't hurt to have one as a backup.
