So long as you have (or can pay for) at least 10 years full National Insurance contributions you can claim the UK state pension at the appropriate age.
You will have to include it on your Canadian tax return where it will be assessed as taxable income, it will not be taxed in the UK.
It will not affect CPP or OAS (unless you go over any clawback amounts).
It is prob worth buying back six years of NI contributions if you can as well as making voluntary NI contributions to get you as close as possible to 35 years of NI contributions (which would give you the maximum UK state pension).
