It depends where in Canada you are referring to. There are Quebec traditions, and then there are other French communities in Canada. Generally speaking, most traditions revolve around church or Catholicism, even if the person is not religious. One example would be on Christmas Eve, many French Canadians spend the night at church until midnight, eat and have a party afterward. This is called "Un réveillon"
Other traditions might revolve around food, for example, the poutine, which is a dish of fresh hot fries, bothwell cheese curds and gravy.
In Manitoba (where I'm from), we celebrate our ancestors every year in February at a festival called Le Festival de Voyageur. This is to celebrate French speaking fur traders of the 17th and 18th centuries. Activities at the festival include ice-sculpture contests, eating frozen maple syrup and fiddling.

Do candians and the french candians have the same tradtions?
I think you mean English Canadians since we are all Canadian. We have some of the same traditions but the Quebecois, as we call French Canadians who live in Quebec, have many traditions not shared by English Canadians. As I am English Canadian, I am not an expert but can mention that they have food, such as tortiere and poutine, holidays such as Jean Baptiste Day, movies, music and art, as well as many cultural differences related to behaviours. They are a more Latin-based culture whereas the rest of Canada is more British historically.
