Best Answer

I installed a UK-style 13-A socket outlet in my home in Canada, and ran a 240-V front-loading washing machine quite happily for several years. So the answer is, yes, technically, you can. However, you shouldn't, as it is against the Canadian Electrical Code, and could invalidate your home insurance amongst other things!
