Unless you're a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or a resident visa holder, the answer is no. As per IATA's special COVID page:

Published 02.11.2020

  1. Passengers are not allowed to enter until 30 November 2020. -This does not apply to:
  • nationals of Canada;
  • permanent residents of Canada;
  • passengers arriving from the USA traveling for a purpose other than tourism;
  • immediate family members of a national or a permanent resident of Canada. They must be traveling to be with the national or the permanent resident, and intending to stay in Canada for a period of at least 15 days;
  • extended family members of a national or a permanent resident of Canada. They must be traveling to be with the national or the permanent resident, and intending to stay in Canada for a period of at least 15 days. They must have a statutory declaration signed by the Canadian national attesting to the relationship and a letter issued by IRCC authorizing travel;
  • passengers who do not need to obtain a temporary resident visa and their immediate family members. They must be traveling for a purpose other than tourism;
  • nationals of France who reside in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and have been only in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, the USA or Canada in the past 14 days. They must be traveling for a purpose other than tourism;
  • Indians under the Indian Act;
  • merchant seamen
  • students with a study permit or a written approval notice.

So your best bet is to either pay for a business class ticket or wait for an economy ticket to become available from the US.
