from what i know, those schools will be reaches with your GPA and SAT score
you might want to look into the average or 25th/75th percentile of GPAs or SAT scores at some schools to get a gauge of what a target school would look like for you in canada
a quick google search shows that simon fraser university could be within target range?

for most canadian schools, a lot of programs will decide mostly off your marks. some specialized programs (usually engineering, not sure if cs is one of them) plus ubc will consider extracurriculars and essays but for uoft theres not much you can do

studying at a community college and transferring to a four year university could be a good option for you
it'd give you a chance to boost your grades before applying
