well, I try a little to stay private by:
using graphene os on my phone
never use social media, unless it's federated
but wait, concerning Canada, I'm not so sure what I do specifically that is only applicable to living here. I mean, to send money here, E-transfers are the only real popular option, that is inherently out of your control, but in the hands of the banks.
Job applications? No sort of privacy there. In public? I mean, the cops here aren't nearly as corrupt as the law in the USA, by design, so, I don't worry at all about that.
