Any Canadian resources for learning the language?

It looks like Mauril is an app developed by CBC and (partially) funded by the government.
If you're looking for more resources, specifically in-person, Alliance Française is in multiple cities across the country and offers more advanced lessons AFAIK.
And if you're a PR, classes are offered by the government, fwiw.

I highly recommend Mauril. I know a lot of anglophones that use it to get their language levels for GOC.

Can you join your local Alliance Française? If not, I'd suggest searching for services from either Québec or France.

I think OP is looking for the kind of drills that Duolingo excels at.

Canadians generally can find language schools but daily self-study makes enormous difference.

For Japanese, I've done textbooks + anki decks (anki is free on android). I had some French classes decades ago and nothing jumps to mind as to why that wouldn't work. I would supplement with consuming media in the target variety of French as well for pronunciation and the like.
