No - you shouldn't. This isn't the norm in Canada.

No, it should definitely not have a photo on it. It is not viewed favorably in this part of the world.

It is not that it isn't the norm. Attaching a photo to CV/resume can set yourself up for discrimination based on "looks" and you won't have any proof of this actually happening. You want your employer to view your cv based on your employment record / skill merits, not on what you look like.
