I wonder how this works in Canada though... any lawyers?

Your right....if they ask to search and you say no they can't without a warrant unless there are extenuating circumstances. If something is in plain view such as drugs, then those can be siezed. If a further search is required and the occupant does not give permission the appropriate thing to do is get a warrant.
