No there are no Miranda rights in Canada. There actually is no such thing as "Miranda Rights". Miranda Rights name comes from the court decision involving Miranda v. Arizona when a defendant didn't know his legal rights, most notably the 5th Amendment in the "Bill of Rights" in the US Constitution. Which is protection from self incrimination, hence, "You have the right to remain silent" and the 6th Amendment which guarantees legal consul, "You have the right to consult with a lawyer" All of these "rights" are guaranteed to Americans and their visitors to the US (both legal and illegal) by the US Constitution. Hence Canada is not a part of the United States and there for, Canadians do not have these exclusive rights as guaranteed by the Constitution and further established by the Miranda v. Arizona court case.
Now the Canadian Citizens do have something similar to this however it is called "Charter of Rights and Freedoms". It is not the same as the Miranda Warning, Miranda Rights, or the Rights granted under the US Constitution.
In three related decisions, a sharply divided (Supreme) court (of Canada) fine-tuned the rules on suspects' right to counsel.
In the main case, the justices ruled 5-4 that the Charter of Rights does not confer a right to have a lawyer present during interrogation.
