It depends on the size. A very tiny one may bounce off your roof, or put a small hole in it like a piece of hail. A meteor the size of a Baseball might cause some structural damage, and a Bowling ball sized one would cause significant damage to the house. If your house is hit with a meteor the size of the house itself... Needless do say, you won't have a house anymore.

Did a meteor hit Canada?

Yes, every day. Most of them are pretty small; the average meteor that you see in the sky is the size of a grain of rice or smaller. Bigger one do land occasionally. But about 15000 years ago, there's evidence that a fairly large meteor, or comet, or asteroid, DID hit northern Canada, which may have caused the "Younger Dryas" mini-ice age. The extinction of the woolly mammoth appears to have happened at about the same time, and also the disappearance of the pre-Indian "Clovis people" who seem to have been the only humans on the North American continent at the time.
