For Canada, it looks like this:

Your best bet for up-to-date boundary files at the provincial/state and municipal/county level for the world is the Global Administrative Boundaries Project.

One of the best sources for Canadian Geospatial data is the Canadian government's Open Data Portal and the Canadian Census Boundary files.
After doing a quick search through the Census data, it appears that 'Townships' might only be an administrative unit at the provincial level. As such, another option is to download the specific townships directly from ...

Not comprehensive, but ESRI's open data hub has some Canadian neighborhood data.

If you have access through a Canadian university, I`d highly recommend speaking with your librarian about gaining access to UofT's the CHASS Data Centre.
