The quick answer is you don't. Normally a 220 V fixture would be in a commercial location. Since Voltage = Current x Resistance the current for the 220 V case would be 220/R. Since R won't change your new current would be 110/R. Depending on the lamp type, the lower current will make the bulb dim or it won't light at all. Always use the proper voltage for a device to avoid dangerous situations.

Can you rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or small appliance to 110v and if so how?

It is not recommended to rewire a 240v lamp light fitting or appliance to operate on 110v. This can be dangerous and may lead to overheating, electrical fires, or damage to the device. It is safer and more practical to use a voltage converter or purchase a new device designed to work with 110v.

How do you rewire UK lamps to work in Canada?

you need a transformer (instead of rewiring) from 220v to 110v The above answer will work but it is not correct. All lighting fixtures installed in Canada have to be CSA certified. If you really like the design of the lamp then you could consider rewiring it with certified CSA components You can buy replacement lamp parts at any DIY outlet. Change out the lamp cord and plug end along with the lamp (bulb) holder and you will have a certified fixture.

Need to buy a 220V clothes dryer and plug into a 110V outlet A can an electrician rewire or B will a transformer work and C know it will be inefficient but will it be safe?

This isn't an answer- it's from the questioner :) Just to clarify: This is the small, apartment-sized, stacked washer-dryer unit. They used to commonly come in 110V. They are still out there but old and sell for same price used as the used newer 220V. So we'd like to buy a newer used 220V and convert if possible and safe. Don't know the watts on these, tho. But must not be as large as regular sized dryers?
