(This is more Canadian centric posting).
voip.ms is a discount provider/reseller (there's a couple of others like
thespout.ca). It's fine for personal use - business use, not so much.
Also, they bill in USD$ if that's an issue.
My ranting on dealings with them - random horrid call quality (due to
software based transcoders from what I've been told), fairly large
amount of outages and worst: bad/false sip registrations so calls won't
complete because they decided to re-route your did to a different server
causing "this number is not in service" messages until you re-establish
the registration. Notifications of issues generally a couple of hours
after they happen. These kinds of issues are what kills them for
business use that needs their phones constantly 8hx5d or more.
Overall, I'd offer thinktel.ca as one of the better quality canadian
providers for businesses, but not always the cheapest (ie: on/off net
disparity sometimes, but that's a per-customer-usage-destination thing),
but they've been straight up in dealing with issues (especially true
with doing ports) on the phone, and a fairly powerful portal. Only 1
outage (~10min) in a couple of years that I can recall.
Just a quick overall observation, but out of my dealings with voip
providers and Canadian phone issues - if they know what the CRTC is and
what that entails (ie: more paperwork usually), then you're generally
better off.

I've had great luck the last two years with VoIP.ms[1]. I believe they
satisfy all of your requirements.
They *do* let you select your own DIDs, though whether or not you'll be
able to find an free range of DIDs that match your internal extensions
is up for question.
