Have you checked at any home improvement stores near you?
I have a couple of sliding doors, and I'm actually going the opposite way: I want to replace them with regular double doors. I find that it's too easy for water to get through when it rains heavily, and in the winter, when snow piles up against the doors, it'll melt through the divider between the doors in the spring or when we have a thaw. From searching around online, this seems to be a flaw of most sliding doors. Just my two cents!
not sure what you mean by sliding doors are they going to the outside? do you want to install sliding glass doors?are they in house & you want them to operate like sliding barn doors? by doors do you mean double doors or multiple doors way openings? are you looking for sliding barndoor hardware? Canada is huge what part are you in? here are some options for sliding barndoor hardware https://www.google.com/search?q=barndoor+hardware&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS750US750&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi2k8qK-KDkAhWY_J4KHROaDFkQsxgI5gI&biw=1366&bih=657 too many questions for me to provide a better answer/help.
Are you asking about interior sliding doors or exterior? To put in an interior slider, you'd either have to deconstruct the wall near the opening to put in a pocket door or mount a barn door instead.
To replace exterior doors with sliders, you'd have to have the proper size opening, necessary headers, etc. For this I think you'd need a contractor.
Your materials should be easily available in Canada at any major home improvement store or order online.
This may be of help if you're thinking of interior doors.
