LAC has lots of free images - shipping lists, enlistment attestations, census, etc. Drill down at:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html

In partic, for census images 1881-1911, follow links at:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911.009-e.html
Although I normally use the AG links for searching 1901-1911 (to get geographic location), the free search at Ancestry is still useful, and sometimes indicates how a name might be (mis)transcribed,
Note that there are 2 schedules for 1901 - one for people, and one for their buildings.
