You can avail a Provincial ID from Service Canada in spite of a Canadian Driver's licence. It cannot be used as a travel document. Your passport is the identity for all countries. But you can present your Provincial ID card ( if you got one from Service Canada ) or driver's licence / PR Card just for proof of your Canadian residency, where ever necessary.

Best to go to the website of the diplomatic mission/visa post in Canada for each country you want to visit and see if they accept a COI as a valid travel document. You won't get much help beyond that as not many on the forum will do this open ended leg work for you.
