Ok I will bet you do have at least one or two 220 outlets in your Canadian home.
If you have an electric oven it's 220 if you have a larger window Ac unit it's possibly 220 your electric water heater is also 220 but that one is most likely hard wired and if you have a electric washer and dryer they also are 220. Now all you have to do is go to Home Depot and get a 220 plug and make a plug that will fit into your existing 220 outlets.
Be careful 220 is very dangerous that's why we use 110 in America only half of us would still be alive if we used 220, no I'm not calling Americans dumb let's call it curiously stupid! ("Hey hold my beer and watch this") famous red neck last words...
Antminer S9 - How to power in Canada?

So the new, amazing Antminer S9 just came out... And I really want to buy it!
But the S9 needs to be powered at 1375W, and with 9 PCI-e connectors (3/board).
The recommended power supply is the APW3.
The APW3 needs over 220V to run, but I live in Canada, and in Canada there is only 110V outlets.
Currently I'm running 2 S5 antminers on one EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2, which has just the right number of connectors, which is 8.
So now I'm either looking for a PSU that can do 1600W and has 9 PCI-e connectors and hope it will be enough,
could use 2 PSUs to power one miner,
or get a 110V -> 220V transformer and hope it doesn't blow any boards or circuits.
Please help me out you wonderful people Smiley
