It isn't made of silver.
Canadian nickels were made of 99.9% nickel for many years. From 1982 to 1999 the coin was made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, the same composition as US nickels.
Starting in 2000 the Royal Canadian Mint began phasing in production of the coin using nickel-plated steel. Both steel and copper-nickel coins were produced until 2006 when all production was changed over to plated steel.
