You need to ensure your customer has a complete address in that tax jurisdiction for those taxes to apply

oh really? my app so far doesnt require billing address from user, its only there optionally in user settings
but what about get using the API to get the price itself for display pursposes? how can i get it with the taxes
since theres no customer involved there

You'd need to provide an address to simulate a customer provided one, for example here:

hm but then what happens if a customer just uses a different address than the one setup in the dashboard? does the price go down to the base without taxes?

Not sure what you mean -- the customer address is a critical part of tax calculation. If the address changes the taxes can change.
You should read about this here: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/customer-locations
Including the logic about whch address gets used

can i setup a fixed tax that just automatically increases the price by a % amount? or would there be any problems if i just make the products price higher to cover for tax?
didnt realise theres this much to adding the tax, so im not sure if i want to implement all that at this point in the project
since all customers of this appliction will be from canada only, im thinking i dont need stripe tax to automatically calculate the tax based on customers location right?

Yes, you can used fixed tax rates, but I can't speak to whether that's appropriate for your business, you need to determine that

oh so this is directly on the invoice, i can't apply it to the product and have it automatically taxed at this rate in every invoice i add it to an right?
