Single game sports betting is illegal in Canada. However, it seems that the law might change, as Vic Fedeli, Canadian Finance Minister, called for the ban to be lifted.
The minister frequently shares his opinions on the issue on his Twitter account:
It’s time for the federal government to amend The Criminal Code and legalize single-game sports betting. Watch to find out why. ???

Minister has also shared what seem to be statements from several sports leagues representatives that are in favor of law amendment:
#DYK it is illegal to place a bet on a single event — like the Grey Cup — in Canada? We want to fix that. We’ve asked the federal government to amend the Criminal Code to legalize single event betting. The commissioners of the @NHL, @NBA, @CFL and @MLS agree. pic.twitter.com/WNCylopbYd
