Cricket is primarily very popular with people from India who are now living in Canada. (Also with ex-pats from South Africa, and other countries of the British Empire). This is largely due to the huge British presence that at one time, existed in India. Once in a while, I'll see people playing cricket, and yeah, it's usually Indo-Canadian looking people.

Rugby is pretty popular, both at high school and at the club level.

None of my schools really had a "football" program, although I think it could be due to the expense.

Canada is influenced by America, much more so than any of her "British Empire" siblings: Australia, South Africa, etc...you see more of the 'British sports" (cricket, etc.)
