The CIPO site gives information on payment/nonpayment of renewal fees
for pending applications as well as issued patents - click on the View

Maintenance fees are in Part VI of Schedule II to the Patent Rules,
available on the CIPO website at:

CIPO patents
http://strategis.gc.ca/sc_mrksv/cipo/patents/pt_main-e.html

Patent Rules
http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/P-4/SOR-96-423/161372.html

Canada does have some administrative information available, but only for

issued patents. See:
