It is circumstantial to the establishment as some places will tip out supports staff a percentage of the sales but I know in most places those tips servers and bartenders get don't 100 percent go to that sole person. So 20 percent would be appropriate if you take all of that into account.
Also most serving staff work limited hours and get paid near minimum wage so yes, in Canadas food and beverage industry it is an expectation to receive tips. Australia and New Zealand pay their staff well and do not allow tips to my knowledge so it is different globally.

It's not customary, but it's certainly allowed, particularly at bars.
