The American and Canadian grocery retail markets are extremely different, no way Aldi and/or Lidl would say 'Hey, it's not working great in the US, therefore it wouldn't work great in Canada.' The US has dozens of regional players and ample competition in most markets. Canada has three dominant major grocery players + Costco/Walmart/Dollarama filling in the gaps. Canada is a dream market for an Aldi/Lidl, and they should strike while the iron's hot. The vast majority of Canadians would switch to a new chain just to stick it to the big three at this point, even if the new chain was only slightly cheaper.
