Interestingly enough, the special ballot which is what I did doesn't have a list of candidates and their parties. You have to look up who is running yourself and then write the person's name, not the party. Mail-in ballots work the same, I've done that before as well.
My riding has 4 candidates running according to the Elections Canada website. There's a Liberal incumbent, and then a Bloc, an NDP and a Conservative. I suppose they could drop out/get replaced between now and election day but I'm going to be travelling for work for the next month+ so I kind of had to pick one today. I guess I could have done a mail-in and waited a little longer but that's a hassle I don't need right now.
