Some drugs are approved in Canada and are not approved here -- Canada does follow similar routes to EMEA and the FDA as far as Phase I, II, etc testing, but each country or block of countries as in the case of EMEA have their own regulation.
If you really are bored, there is a database for Canada:
http://search.hc-sc.gc.ca/cgi-bin/query?mss=dpd/english/active/simple
It is arcane and the best method seems to be to enter a drug company. I've tried to enter American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS) codes, which SSRIs are 28:16.04.20 and I have gotten no luck -- play around with it, you might find something. 28:16:04 I think is depression in general.
