Absolutely, they are different. Tenancy Laws differ so greatly b/w provinces, you would think it was a different country. This is a big issue as it is obvious that many people move from province to province often.
It really should be the same across the country, but seeing as they differ drastically, I don't think there would ever be able to be a consensus.
The only time it become a federal issue (iirc) is when as order of possession is obtained and the tenant attempts to fight it. an order of possession, if executed to the full extent of the law, is given by the Supreme Court of Canada. To my knowledge, there are no federal tenancy laws.
