Most comments here only got half the mark. Restructuring investment banking advisory work is very small in Canada for a variety of reasons (companies take on less leverage, less PE backed businesses, etc.), and also because restructuring/bankruptcy laws are different here. 

Some firms do touch Rx though, mainly BMO and Canaccord, though I would say BMO has advised on most of the largest debtor sides in Canada (CBCA Recaps). Don't think BMO/CG does any creditor side work. Aside from them, Greenhill Toronto has advised on a few big txns (Cirque du Soleil, Canopy Growth). Think some of the other global offices touched a bit as well like Lazard but they winded up their office. Would say BMO/Greenhill is your best bet but like all the other comments said, U.S. is the place to be for Rx work.
