A lot of the synth music in more recent Canadian SciFi sounds an awful lot like the music in the Mass Effect series. I'm pretty sure the industry over there is really small and they wind up copying one another.

I don't think they're copying one another as much as they're all trying to recreate a particular 80s synth sound that was popularized by the likes of John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine Dream and others. The Mass Effect soundtracks borrowed really heavily from this style before it became cool to have an 80s synth sound. The Stranger Things soundtrack officially made that 80s synthy sound cool again.

Le Matos is a French-Canadian dude who did the Turbo Kid soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdbNc8QzXpo, which is a great homage to the sound of that era and leagues above the generic Canadian sci-fi sound you're referring to. He has a few other albums too and they're all just as good. Honorable mention to French but not-French-Canadian Carpenter Brut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY1s9SmrQRE
