The raw data is stored here: https://i18napis.appspot.com/address
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. Unless you're looking for a specific Canadian/American boundary type (Economic Regions, Special Counties?) this data set should be fine. All data can be downloaded directly through their website.

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.
Unfortunately, Zillow doesn't offer neighborhood data in Canada like in the US, and also Code for America's Click My 'Hood app doesn't actually have neighborhood data, just Canadian provinces.

I've run into this problem as well and have opted not to use the aggregated data in some cases because of how badly it's formatted. 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. They maintain a database of cleaned/geoprocessed census data and make it ...
