None.

Canada has never made a silver nickel. In fact, until recently their nickels were really made of pure nickel, unlike those in the U.S. that are mostly copper.

Canada DID, however, once make a much smaller 5-cent coin in silver, but it was last minted in 1921 and was never called a nickel because it didn't have any nickel in it.
