Winner with information on a Canadian city (8)

I believe the answer is:

victoria

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'canadian city' is the definition.
'Victoria' can be an answer for 'city' (Victoria is an example). I'm unsure of the 'canadian' bit.

'winner with information on a' is the wordplay.
'winner' becomes 'victor' (synonyms).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'information' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation for information).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'victor'+'i'+'a'='VICTORIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for victoria that I've seen before include "English queen" , "Station - plum - sponge - queen" , "Wood" , "Queen and Falls" , "Mrs Beckham" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
