Some further information
Homes in Canada use 240/120 volts at 60 cycles per second (60Hz) single phase. It is a split-phase system that delivers 240 volts to large domestic appliances (e.g. washing machines, dryers, air-conditioners, etc.) and 120 volts to lights and general socket outlets used for small appliances (coffee machines, electric shavers, televisions, etc.).

The outlet is connected to and protected by a breaker or fuse in a main electric panel. The outlet should be sized to the protection. Usually utility outlets in a residence are either 15 A or 20 A. If there are multiple outlets on a circuit then the total current cannot exceed the protection value of the breaker or fuse.
Yes, you can use lower amperage outlets - the problem would come if you were trying to run a 20 amp appliance on a 15 amp circuit or plug a 20 amp appliance into a 15 amp outlet. It would be better, though, as some kitchen appliances could exceed 15 amps (toaster ovens, some coffee makers, electric griddles, etc.) could try to draw more than the 15 amps your outlets are designed for. Perhaps you could get some 20 amp outlets and use those 15's in a hallway or something less likely to have high amperage draw.
Yes, in certain locations. Check rule 26-710 and 26-712.

Canada and the United States (along with most of the rest of North America and some of South America) use a connector standardized by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. The outlets feature two slotted inputs for the electrical current and one hole for the ground.

A portable air compressor is useful in many ways. They also can be used in states of emergency when no power is available and you can use it to power things with electric outlets.
I would install a 60 amp sub-panel and use AWG #3 copper.
There are a number of outlets located in the Ontario area. For a listing of available outlets, check out the websites for Tanger Outlets or Canada One Factory Outlets, two of the largest outlet malls in Ontario.
