Fongo is a free Canadian VOIP app/service. I believe that you can port your number over to them. I believe that ported numbers you get to keep for life, whereas the free number that they can assign you expire if you don't use them.
They do have add-ons for texting and world calling, etc. and it is ad supported, but it might do the trick for what you're looking for. I'm not sure about forwarding an that sort of thing, or about how easy it would be to port back. I believe that the CRTC regulates porting, so it should be mandated that you be allowed to.
I have a free number with them that I use very occasionally when travelling abroad and needing to make a call back to Canada for free over wifi.
