No. The lower house in Canada is called the House of Commons. It is similar to the House of Representatives in that representatives come from fixed geographical areas defined by legislation, and they are elected as representatives of political parties. Unlike the House of Representatives, however, members of the House of Commons are not elected for fixed terms on set dates, and they on average serve longer terms in office than members of the House of Representatives (between 3 and 5 years). Attempts have recently been made to set fixed four-year terms for members of the House of Commons.
The House of Representatives limited the number of members to 435 people through the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. This was because rural and urban areas were upset about how the seats were being distributed.

The US Constitution requires that the US Govt make a counting of the number of people living in different areas. That is the census. The numbers determine the number of members of the House of Representatives that a state will have- and the numbers are used by different government agencies to plan what services may be needed by different areas.
