The voltages found in Suriname (127V) and Canada (120V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Suriname and Canada is exactly the same (60Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
