No, you don't need to be a Canadian to enter the House of Commons.

Many non-Canadians have entered the House to address members of Parliament (such as the prime ministers of the United Kingdom, and presidents of the United States). Anyone who is not a member of the House, under most circumstances, cannot speak or enter proceedings without being removed by the Sergeant-at-Arms; however, the House can compose itself to be addressed by a special guest with advanced notice.
