Unfortunately that is right in the range where every additional dollar you spend gets you a lot more. A meter below $100CAD is going to be crappy in one way or another but there are very nice options right above the $150 mark. So if you can exceed that, stretch and get something that will last and perform well--there's lots of options. If you can't, save your money and just get a bargain basement model that will likely work and when it doesn't you aren't out much. For example, look at the Tekpower/UNI-T UT61E (not the "+") that is available on Amazon here for $39.99USD. It will actually mostly work for what you want as it has an AC bandwidth out to 10kHz+ unlike most budget models.
zaoka:
Get new UNI-T UT117C, it also tests capacitors and is very accurate for what you need.
watchmaker:
Why not look at a Fluke 8842AF or hp3478? Or even a Fluke45? Both of these fit your budget on eBay US. Just buy from one of the dealers who offer returns. Do not pay attention to "sold for parts"; that means nothing from these dealers. I have bought several and all display the same measurements within one or two counts.
BILLPOD:
I agree with Zaoka, the UT117C is the 'spitting image' of the Fluke 117C.
I love mine and reach for it often. It doesn't have mA selection, but in the amps range it's resolution is down to a few milliamps. And the magnetic/strap hanger and Bluetooth are a bonus. I'm not sure of the price now, but I got mine for a little over $70 USD.:-DMM

I do not know how did You get 117c that cheap, now prices are in 150-180usd range.
