This is a very complicated question, and there are many components to it.
Objectively, if you're afraid of anti-Jewish violence, then Canada is safer because it is overall safer in term of violence.
That doesn't mean antisemitism doesn't exist, nor does it mean that violence is impossible, but the reduction in violence overall means you're safer from violence.
Many American believe Canada is a panacea, a cold utopia, and that is very much not true, as I imagine you know. Canada is no utopia, and life in Canada has been especially hard for my wife and I. If you follow me for any extended period, you'll read me complain about Canada quite a bit, but it's still overall better than the US IMHO.
Since you mentioned Montreal, Quebec, and Montreal, has an especially "complicated" relationship with its Jews and always has.
I am afraid of antisemitism in Vancouver, just not of being violently attacked over it.
