Does the Parliamentary government in Canada have governors and mayors?

Technically speaking, no. Mayors are municipal politicians.The parliamentary system is used at the provincial and federal levels of government in Canada. The system used by municipalities varies from case to case, but Canadian municipalities usually dohave mayors, who serve a role similar to the same position in municipalities elsewhere, such as in the US or the UK.
Having a parliamentary system means that the executive is responsible to the legislature. Having a governor usually implies a presidential system, where the executive is independent of the legislature.
Canada does have governors. The chief officer of the executive branch of each government (1 federal and 10 provincial) is a viceroy to the Queen of Canada. The federal viceroy is the Governor General, while the provincial viceroys are called Lieutenant Governors. However, these positions are, by convention, ceremonial. The government is actually run by a Cabinet chaired by a Prime Minister (federal) or Premier (provincial) and composed of politicians drawn from and responsible to the legislature, which is why Canada and its provinces are considered to follow a parliamentary system of government.
