Canada is geographically huge.
To put it in perspective, Windsor, the Southernmost city you will find on a map, is closer to Peru than it is to Alert, the northernmost community you will find on a map. It is about equivalent to a trip from Rome to Mumbai.
That being said, the idea of "North" Canada is very subjective. In Toronto, people consider anything north of the Great Lakes to be "Up north", even if these areas are south of Seattle. In Edmonton, the northernmost provincial capital in Canada, they consider themselves a southern point and merely the "Gateway to the North", despite being at around 50 degrees north.
If you want to experience "the north" you should ask a question that involves some idea of what type of "northern" experience you wish to have.
