[Qgis-user] base maps

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

First of all, you can join the QGIS Canada in Google + for this type of 
question.  I will be happy to help out there too.
http://canadiangis.com/new-and-improved-geogratis-website.php is also a 
good site.

There is lots of data available for Canada.  You will find 2 WMS servers 
where you can download one layer at a time.  WMS is a raster base service.

Toporama: 
http://wms.ess-ws.nrcan.gc.ca/wms/toporama_en?VERSION=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities&service=wms
Geobase: http://ows.geobase.ca/wms/geobase_fr?
GSC Geological data: 
http://ngwd-bdnes.cits.rncan.gc.ca/mapengine/oneGeology/?

You also have access to all 50K - 250K maps sheets in Canada and much 
more on GeoGratis.  Look for canvec product.  The road network is also 
there.

Hope this helps.
