u/cypherfox has a list of Canadian retailers. Not being Canadian myself, I don't know many.
Start with the most important thing: Face protection. Eye protection is always required for airsoft. Something ANSI Z87.1+ or higher impact rating. Could go with something cheap like Pyramex I-force or go with something really high end like Smith Optics Turbo Fan. I've also liked my Save Phace Grunts, but they do scratch easily. For lower face protection, the One Tigris mask is pretty standard. Comfortable solid protection. Could also rig something up with a Steel Mouth which doesn't provide as much protection but, in my opinion, looks nicer. If you think he'd prefer a full face mask, the Dye I4 is fantastic.
After that, I'd prioritize boots. I'm not much of an expert on these. I like my Merrel MOAB Mids. I've also heard good things about Salomon and Lowa. Just something with some decent ankle support.
After that, look into a carrying case for your gun. You could use the box it came in, but that's not really ideal. Personally I use a valken gun bag and have had no issues with my M4 and AK. Could also go with a hard case like a Plano.
Then you're getting into less important stuff. Load bearing gear, like a chest rig, plate carrier, or belt, is nice to have but not required. They're used to carry whatever. Magazines, water, food, tools, extra batteries, whatever. I'm not really sure what the market for that is like in Canada, but Condor is a good budget brand with plenty of styles.
Other than that, I can recommend Mechanix Gloves and Howard Leight Impact Sport
Without your actual budget and knowing exactly what he has or what he wants, I can't really get more specific or recommend much else.
Your goggles cost $180. What kind of cheap assholes do you play with who can't afford a $200 primary? Well, I suppose you do have it better than me- the closest place that I'm aware of to play is ~3 hours one way.
