There is no requirement in the Canadian Air Regulations for flight time to be certified. However, you may be expected to provide proof of experience-- but if you already hold documents issued by a contracting (aka ICAO) state, you should not have a problem, although you will have to meet Canadian experience requirements.

I would suggest you phone a local Transport Canada office, and ask to talk to a Licencing Officer or Inspector. That way, you can avoid any confusion that you may encounter here.

Oh, and here is come good reading:

That should give you some good general information about transferring your licences.
