InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
https://alpaca.markets/ offers real time streaming of stock quotes and actual order fills as well. Not sure what getting an account from Canada would be like but it’s free. They used to use this thing called Polygon but I don’t think it’s free. You could build a simple trading bot as a project.
As a bonus, their API is built in Elixir and open source.
