Then i want to search the exact the same phrase and pretend to be a user from Canada, i want see if the search results are different
PS: I just want to test my keyword ranking for SEO purposes.

Any ideas?

Not sure that Google offers this service.
Of course, for giant companies it's something very easy : I remotely connect to my computer in NY and starts my query, and then I remotely connect to my computer in Vancouver and start my query.
Unfortunately you are not a worldwide company.
However, you could do something funny.
Post here the query you want to perform, and let's see if an Xisto member from NY reads your post and posts the query result.
and let's see if a guy from Canada does the same thing and posts the query result.

Google.us and Google.ca?

I'm afraid that google.com manages it according to your country.

can't you use a proxy?

If you want to get on google.com without it redirecting to your country then add /ncr to it, like https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=QF00VNijNKGH8Qfg64CQAg&gws_rd=ssl. It stops it from redirecting.You could just use a proxy from the country that you want to pretend to be searching from!

I love their welcome page :

Do not use proxy for illegal deeds or illegal activity.
