the U.S. State Dept lists Canada as having both English and French as languages. I am unsure whether this refers to official languages or just the ones most commonly spoken.

From the Preamble:
"WHEREAS the Constitution of Canada provides that English and French are the official languages of Canada and have equality of status and equal rights and privileges as to their use in all institutions of the Parliament and government of Canada;"
