It truly depends on what the question is, what the criteria is, and how the process is structured. It doesn't have to be a 50%+1. It could need 75% support. It could need 40% support. It could need approval of 50%+1 overall vote + 50%+1 provinces/territories. There are many potentials.
You're making it sound like a referendum is a strict "must do it this way" structure... it hardly is.
